String Art Alphabet - Randomized - Complete

I've completed the Randomized version of the Alphabet.

Some of the pictures are a little blurry,  I may fix them in the daylight, but right now I just want to get these up on the web.

NOTE: The I isn't pictured - as it is just the first half of the H

Zigzag Outline










Running Stitch Outline














This alphabet is no longer free - you can find it for sale on my Craftsy site.

String Art - A - Test Run - Update


I'm trying to decide if I should spend time digitizing an entire alphabet in the String Art Style.

Below are two different styles - random and more organized.



Random (with Running Stitch outline or ZigZag)




Organized (with Running Stitch outline or ZigZag)




The results of the survey from Most popular to least 

1) Randomized Lines with ZigZag outline 

Tie
2) Randomized Lines with Running stitch outline
2) Organized Lines with ZigZag outline

4) Organized Lines with Running stitch outline

So I'm starting with the more Randomized lines.  I'll do both the running and zigzag outlines - because releasing both doesn't really take too much extra time.

If I get good feedback, then I'll consider doing a more organized version.


Also, did you notice that by doing the outline only - this becomes a Stencil Font?  Perhaps I should do an appliqué version of the Stencil part only.  Any thoughts?

String Art Flower - Machine Embroidery in .PES

I decided to attempt to share this design with you.





Please read the copyright info in the zip file.  (It's standard - you can use for personal or items for sale, but you can't share or sell the design itself)

I have only included the .PES version. This fits in the 4" x 4" hoop

String art - machine embroidery style


So for some reason I decided to channel my inner 70s girl and try digitizing some string art patterns into machine embroidery.   I also figur d this might be a good test for some embroidery software I want to evaluate.  

So here are the results using my very old (1990s) software.   Not too bad
