I bought this which was supposed to be as a gift for my wife, but it turned out to be an artwork on display at our wedding party. It took about 5 hours for both of us to complete this work. Seeing how a photo can be turned into a work made of just strings is quite amazing. Definitely a good memory and a wonderful work that attracts everyone's attention.
I made this for my friend who lost her dog last year. The great people at Pilusion made sure the custom photo mockup was what I wanted, and were willing to go back and forth with me a few times until it was just right. It probably took around 6 hours to complete, I think I did it in six sessions spread out over a couple of weeks. It took a few blocks of numbers before I got the hang of it. This might sound obvious but it happened to me and I thought I was being careful, so be very careful to make sure the string is only around one nail at a time. I had to undo all of it after around 300 steps when I realized I had accidentally allowed the string around three nails at a time. I thought the progress pics were really cool!
This was a lot of fun. Around 7 hours from start ti finish and my kids loved the final product
