Nail and String Portrait Art

Designers Pamela Campagna and Thomas Scheiderbauer take up to a month to work on each of their complicated artworks, but the outcome is certainly worth the time they put in. After analyzing an old photo they begin hammering nails into the canvas until they come up with a pixelated outline of the artwork, after which they start connecting the dots with thread. That’s easier said than done, and looking at how clean yet detailed their portraits turn out, they must have a great deal of patience.

  2. This is awesome! I definitely do not have the patience for this though. Being from Ohio, I did see much simpler ones in the shape of Ohio and then a heart around the city you are from. It would be cute if I had the patience for it!
