Introduction

"Plastitch T.M., is a form of art I invented, manifested, refined and self taught in 1996 after having the idea in my head since I was about fifteen years old! It is  similiar to string art, but without the nails, pins or brads to hold thread in place.

It is a form of embroidering thread through hand crafting of geometric design patterns, through holes the size of needles! 

By drilling or lasering the holes into various types of 'plastic' or acrylic sheets and weaving the thread through the holes to form a unique  piece of art,
hence the name, PlaStitch T.M."

"I use a variety of threads including but not exclusively; metallic, fluorescent, regular cotton, polyester blends, nylon and even a new thread which 'glows' in the dark!

All the threading is done painstakingly with each color used being one continuous thread, without 'piecing' of  threads together.

Then I tie off the thread when I am finished in a unique way where the 'knots' are practically invisible."
