Flickr Finds: Yarn Wall Display

We've seen tons of picture walls, so we appreciate any that are done a bit differently, like this one. Randomly spaced lengths of red yarn were used to hang little pictures and artwork, the weight of each creating artistic bends and dips.

And you can't beat this project on price: yarn, scotch tape and paperclips totaling $1.35 made it happen. We only wish we could see more of the wall and apartment it lives in.

A long while ago, I read an article about an artist that used picture wire and ball clips to hang their own and grandkids artwork in their studio. Seemed like an inexpensive and stylish way to have an easy to change gallery.

Something a bit similar was sold on ThinkGeek. They were vertical and made of steel & magnets, but quite a bit cleaner, IMO. I got some for my wall: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50769931@N00/2320429332

Oh no, this is a little bit too Dexter for me. I love my favorite neighborhood serial killer....as long as he stays in the teevee box he comes in. :)

I really like it, it just needs to be on a smaller scale.
