Description: A collection of well-illustrated detailed instructions on how to make string figures, based on original descriptions of traditional figures collected by researchers in the Arctic. Of particular interest is a series of 100 figures collected by Diamond Jenness, in 1924.
The Arctic String Figure Project The Arctic String Figure Project Inuit (Eskimo) string figures are among the most difficult figures to make from written descriptions. The figures are often asymmetric, requiring different moves on each hand. During their formation the arms frequently point away from you with fingers closed to the palm. This makes terms like near, far, upper, and lower difficult to interpret. Many require the retrieval of strings from the center or sides of the design, a maneuver that is difficult to describe in the absence of an illustration. As a result, most Inuit string figures are inaccessible to beginners, and many even elude experienced enthusiasts.
