Folk Art Nail
Does anyone still have 1970′s nail pictures???
Hello, I am interested in some primitive “Folk Art” which was very prevalent during the 1970′s.
Basically what you did was, get a rectangular piece of plywood and paint it matt black. Then you hammered nails into the plywood in a creative pattern. Finally, you wound some sparkly colured string round the nails in an original and thought provoking manner- reminiscent of spirals, etc.
Can anyone remember what these pictures were called- was it “nail pictures”..?
And does anyone still have such an item hanging on the wall in their home?
I have some of them! They all weren’t with black back grounds. I have some with a burlap background and twine. Some are intricate and others are just circles or triangle shapes.
