Have you ever played with a Spirograph? I've recently rediscovered this awesome tool and in today's video I explore different spirograph sets, demonstrating their use and providing a comparative review for artists and hobbyists. My goal is to share my experience with four different spirograph sets, highlighting the pros and cons of each. I also include practical tips for achieving better spirograph designs, such as pen pressure, hand movements, and recording number combinations for recreating patterns.
Finally, I offer creative ideas for incorporating spirograph designs into various art projects. I love the idea of using the designs in collages, art journals, and glue books, and demonstrate how to integrate them with other paper elements and ephemera. I've got some specific examples to share, and encourage viewers to explore different ways to utilize spirograph patterns in their own artwork.
I'm talking about spirograph tools that will take your creativity to the NEXT LEVEL 😉💜👍🏻.
