Art...

I remember banging rows of nails into a piece of painted wood, painting it with emulsion (mine was pink) and then having to tie cotton thread around the nails to create interesting geometrical patterns. I also remember trying my hand at enamelling (I created a crescent-shaped pendant with very sharp, pointy ends, which I made into a necklace), and engraving wood using a very hot burning device! No sign of any health and safety back then.
