I recently rediscovered string art. I may have talked about it earlier so I'm not going to go into details. One thing, though, considering this is a craft from the '70s and they're not making kits anymore, I started to buy books that had patterns in them. Naturally the patterns are too small to use and need to be enlarged. The way you're supposed to do it is to use 1" square graph paper and enlarge the pattern manually. I knew I was bound to mess that up so I went searching for something easier considering how far we are from the '70s. I FOUND IT!!! It's a program called Rapid Resizer. You can use it with patterns found on the internet but even better you can scan anything into your computer and resize it (hence a pattern in a book resized to the size specified in the book). I couldn't believe how easy this is to use. It even straightens your image if you scan it crooked. It has a 14 day trial and then costs $39.95 according to cnet. Even if you didn't want to pay for it you can resize a lot in 2 weeks. Anyway, here is where you can find it on cnet: Rapid Resizer
I hope you have fun with it; I am!
On a completely separate note. I'm still waiting to review lip balms and the Say Yes to Carrots products. Fed Ex says they delivered a package to my house on the 15th of March that I've been waiting for and they lie. When it gets here, the company is resending it, I'll get to it all.
