Konstantin Khlanta - String Arts And Nail Patterns | String Art | The Intricate Nail And Thread Portraits of Konstantin Khlanta | Artist Creates Stunning Portraits with String 

An Konstantin Khlanta artist from Russia has created extraordinary works of art using nothing but nails and coloured thread on canvas.String art or pin and thread art, is characterized by an arrangement of colored thread strung between points to form geometric patterns or representational designs such as a ship's sails, sometimes with other artist material comprising the remainder of the work.

Konstantin Khlanta, 27, from Tula in Russia, is a string art artist who uses his creative talent to produce portraits of celebrities including Adele and Avril Lavigne. Konstantin has also put his hand to creating artworks of fictional characters too, with one of his most striking pictures portraying Heath Ledger's version of The Joker.

In order to create his pictures, Konstantin said he begins with a sketch of the person he is creating - either a celebrity or a commission. He then attaches nails over the sketch to create an outline, before removing the sketch and beginning to work with the thread.
