Recently I've been watching a lot of vidoes about making flower pictures using acrylic string pull technique. Like this one, isn't it beautiful?
最近在YouTube看了不少繩子拉花的影片,像這樣的作品很美。

Today I had some black ink left over after I finished practicing calligraphy, so thought I'd give it a go. I didn't have all the right kit at home but figured I'd improvise with whatever is available. Coarse string and plain white A4 paper. I dipped the string in the dish of ink and let it soak for a while to absorb the ink.
今天練完書法還有墨汁剩,就地取材試學人家玩繩子拉花。我把繩子浸在墨汁裡,然後小心翼翼鋪在白紙上。 繩子較粗,白紙又小,所以擺的線條比較拘謹。我把另一張白紙和雜誌蓋上去,用手壓著然後慢慢把繩子往下拉。很緊張,不知我的第一張作品如何呢?

Then I randomly placed the string onto the paper, and added a bit more ink directly onto the string (mistake 1). It was a bit difficult to get some nice curves as the string was quite thick and not very flexible. This is what I managed.

Now for the pull. I folded the paper over, placed an old magazine on top and pressed hard (mistake 2). Slowly I pulled the string downwards releasing the pressure occasionally to let the string move. Viola! This is what it looked like when I removed the magazine. See the outline and the streaks, it's a bit like the photos I saw on the internet. It looks promising so far. Let's see what my pull string flower looks like inside.

Errrhhhh... where's my flower??!! What happened?? It's not what I expected!! Seems like I put too much ink and pressure on the string so I ended up with a blob of .... I'm not sure what it is.
噢!我的花兒在哪? 這是甚麼?幹嘛會變成.... 我也不知是甚麼。慘呢! 我第一張作品徹底失敗。

Thanks, @livinguktaiwan!!!

Woah! Jim Carrey! He's got good moves there!

High Five~

我的感觉是既像一层层的喷泉又像动态的少女舞者,中文名:舞动的喷泉。想起我家的一个月季品种——伊芙·喷泉😄

很美的名字!

I didn't know there was such a thing
Can't wait to see where you will go with this
And you do calligraphy as well... niceeeee

I would call it Bootylicious :D

It sounds as good as Eliza's yummilicious! Just posted part 2 of my artistic journey 🙃

I would call in "A tribute to the black panthers, power to the people."

Thanks for your entry!

The Graceful girls' boxing 😆

This is such a creative way to make art. My first impression is "dancing by a stripper pole", lol... but I'll go for a clown with a long nose pointing upward, haha! So the name can be "A Happy Clown".

From stripper to clown!! Ha ha!

I would name it Glorious Gloom Harmony :)

Thanks for entering!

I would call it "misdirected rage". Looks like someone getting angry over nothing at themselves in the mirror 😆

That sounds a bit like me sometimes when I get out of the wrong side of the bed!

I enjoy watching these videos too @livinguktaiwan but have never tried it yet. You have done an amazing job. Love it! (U & R )

Thanks for your kind words Trudee. Now I finally understand why people can spend hours watching youtube videos

You're very welcome. I spend quite a bit of time immersed in art based videos as I find them very relaxing.
