I love string, especially old string, as much as brown paper. When my good friend Martha added to my little collection with a roll of vintage string (she knows me so well!), I saw this composition in my mind's eye and put it together this morning before I'd even finished my cup of coffee.

It's a companion to my tag composition here.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. Right now, they're candidates for future postcards.

String Theory




Simplicity is the removal of the useless and the unnecessary--source unknown

I have an off-and-on series I call String Theory and I have a lot of fun with it.

The grommets on this piece were inspired by a pillow on my friend's blog,.



 To that I added a tag with a wax seal of an owl. The seal is a vintage one, that this same friend gave me recently. She knows me so well...

String theory

 String Theory: see previous post.

"In the last few decades, string theory has emerged as the most promising candidate for a microscopic theory of gravity. And it is infinitely more ambitious than that: it attempts to provide a complete, unified, and consistent description of the fundamental structure of our universe. (For this reason it is sometimes, quite arrogantly, called a 'Theory of Everything'). 
          The essential idea behind string theory is this: all of the different 'fundamental ' particles of the Standard Model are really just different manifestations of one basic object: a string."
