Just how long was a piece of string?
The age old question has been revamped and pimped by one of our favourite Springleap regulars Simon.
The question as you probably know, is an old quirky rhetoric that requires no answer.
How long was a piece of string?….who knows.
Simon is well known for his funny designs that are thought provoking and also damn cute…his latest submissions to the compo have followed suit and had many of us here at Springleap chuckling.
You must definitely check out his new submissions, CMY… and Vitamin A , if you haven’t already done so.
Remember today is the final day to vote so if you like his new designs show some love and vote.
So what did Simon have to say about his own design?!
Well, here’s a quick look at what he said on the Springleap site itself:
“How long is a piece of string?
“Double the length from the middle to one end…” String seems almost as if it were a thing of the past. I certainly haven’t used string for a very long time.”
“When last did you hug your string?”
Hmmm thinking about it, when was the last time I used a piece of string…does dental floss count? That’s like teeth string hahaha.
But yeah, in all honesty I haven’t used string in ages…why is that?
Maybe in our technological world we just don’t do as much craft work as we used to.
Has the international string trade been hit hard…have all the famous string companies (who ever they might be) gone belly up…do they now sell string on the street corner?
It could be a really sad story…maybe there’s a documentary in the works.
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT investigates: Ex bosses of string companies go on joint murderous rampage to strike back at the communities that left them penniless and stringless.
The world would not be as advanced as it is today without string…all hail string…the forgotten material.
Brilliant design Simon, really made me laugh out loud.
Duncs.
I like this, the lil figures makes it super cool!
