In this launch announcement, I’m introducing my new app: GENIE STRINGS—my thread portrait template generation tool made specifically for string/thread portrait artists. If you’ve ever wanted a cleaner, more predictable way to turn a portrait into a thread template, this is exactly what I’ve been building. The goal is to help you go from “I love this reference photo” to “I can actually start wrapping thread” without the usual guesswork. Inside the video, I share what GENIE STRINGS is, who it’s for, and the kind of string portrait workflow I’m designing it to support—especially for anyone who wants easy templates and a smoother setup before they start crafting. This is a launch-style update, so it’s focused on the announcement and what you can expect from the app as it rolls out. If you’re into my multimedia portrait crafts (threads, crystals, paper, beads), this is another tool I’m adding to make portrait-making faster, easier, and more beginner-friendly.
