BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The invention pertains to visual art and craft demonstration, more specifically to designs made by strung colored filament. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     U.S. Pat. No. 2,728,149 patented Dec. 27, 1955 by M. Radt describes a plurality of pins uniformly spaced in a circle mounted on a base. The pins are given sequential identifying numbers which are marked on the base alongside the each pin. 
     The total number of pins in the circle is equal to a prime number. A string is attached to any one of the pins, and is stepwise conducted to others of the pins while skipping an always equal number of intermediary pins until contact has been made with all the pins. Upon returning to the starting point, all pins are contacted an equal number of times. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 2,984,488, patented May 16, 1961 by S. Kirchner, describes a board having a multiplicity of pin-receiving holes. A flexible sheet is adapted to overlay the board. The sheet has a multiplicity of perforations that form an illegible picture or design. Removable pins are inserted through the holes in the sheet, and into the holes in the board. Areas of the sheet which do not have holes conceal holes in the board. Rubber bands of different color are looped over selected sets of pins, forming a picture. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 3,905,133 patented Sep. 16, 1975 by P. Charman describes a plurality of strips. Each strip includes a resilient spine. A plurality of pins, each pin having an enlarged portion or cap to prevent thread from falling off the free end of the pin, is attached to and protruding from one face of the spine. The opposite face of the spine has a set of projecting plugs that are adapted to inserted into selected holes in a baseboard so that the strips can be mounted on the board in a choice of different positions. Thread is strung between pins from one strip to another. The spine is adapted to flex at least in the plane of the board. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,375, patented Sep. 10, 1985 by Fogarty et al. describes a flexible plate having a plurality of upward extending, flexible fingers arrayed in equally spaced, parallel, transverse rows on the top of the plate. A tool having an internal reel of string, dispenses the string through a tubular tip which a person extends into the fingers and moves around among the fingers to lay out the string in a design below the tops of the fingers.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Before explaining the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the detail of construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the drawings since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways. It is also to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed is for the purpose of description only and not of limitation. 
     Referring to FIGS. 1-4, kit 65 of butterfly 98 includes wooden board 69, and thin paper sheet 71 which includes nail location dots 73. Each dot indicates where a nail 75 must be driven through sheet 71 into upper surface 74 of the board when the sheet is laid on the board. 
     The sheet is preferably removed after the nails are driven in, before string is wound on the nails. 
     Fabric 76 is mounted on board 69 by tacks 77. Other means for mounting may be used including adhesive. Fabric 76 may be burlap, velvet, cotton, plastic, or other material to provide a background other than can be provided by wood finish. 
     The board may be made from wood, plastic or other material that will take the nails, and may be used without fabric. A nice finish would then be preferred. 
     Each nail location, illustrated in FIG. 2 as a dot, is marked with an identification number 78. Examples of identification numbers are H33, G27, F4, and J31. 
     The sheet that is nailed through may have only dots designating nail points. The sheet is preferably removed after the nails are in the board and before the wrap begins. As this sheet may be damaged or destroyed by removing it from the nailed board, separate reference sheet is provided with identification numbers. 
     The butterfly has a soft three-dimensional layered form with the transitional edges 104 of the layers having a bulbous feel, being raised in cross section. 
     Kit 65 also includes sheets like sheets 79, 81, 64, 66, 68, 70 and 72 and additional sheets which instruct where, how, and in what order and direction to wrap colored yarn around nails 75. 
     Packets of yarn in red 80, yellow, 82, green 84, light green 86, dark blue 88, white 90, black 92, light blue 100, and intermediate blue 102, are included in the kit for butterfly 98. Instruction sheets 79, 81, 64, 66, 68, 70 and 72 for making a different butterfly, butterfly 99, are shown in FIGS. 8-17. 
     Referring to FIG. 2 and to FIGS. 5-7, FIGS. 5-7 show steps in making a completely encircled wrap of the lower left lobe of butterfly 99. 
     Nail line 108 passes through nails 75. Nail line 116 passes through nails 75 and diverges from nail line 108 as the two lines extend from vertex 122 of left lower lobe 132 of butterfly 99 and from nail G1. Nail lines 108 and 116 also diverge from one another as they extend from vertex 128 of lobe 132 and from nail I34. 
     Preferably the nails in nail line 108 are spaced equal distances from each other and the nails in nail line 116 are spaced equal distances from one another, the same distance between nails as in line 108. Preferably an end of line 108 continues with an end of line 116 by nails spaced from one another as nails spaced within line 108. Preferably the nails count around to an even number. 
     Preferably the nails in four wings of the butterfly are the same distance between nails within each line of nails that forms the lobes of the wings, and where the lines forming the lobes cross each other. Each lobe of the wings is a loop. Preferably the loop is closed. Preferably opposite sides of the loop are symmetrical to each other. 
     Instructions for constructing the first, or lowermost, layer of the left lower lobe 132 of butterfly 99 includes tying one end of a continuous string 106 of red yarn 80 to nail I24 of nail line 108, extend the string in a straight line to nail G7 of nail line 116, wrapping the string around the nail and extending the string in a straight line to the next nail adjacent to nail I24 in direction 120. 
     The wrapping continues with the string being threaded in sequence of nail to adjacent nail in opposite directions 120, 126 on each line 108, 116, taking an acute angle 130 about each of the nails. 
     Opposite directions 120, 126 comprise a continuous circular direction of progression 128 around the lobe 132. 
     The steps, sequence, and direction of stringing is numbered ##a for convenience of the reader of this specification. By following numbers 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, and so forth the reader can see the order and direction of progression of the wrapping steps. 
     On instruction sheets for users of the kit numbering by quadrant &#34;E&#34;, &#34;G&#34; &#34;C&#34;, etc. with a sequential number may be used. This numbering system is shown in FIG. 2, and is referred to in FIGS. 8-18. 
     A dense layer of the criss-crossed string is built in a dense, bulbous 140 band 142 adjacent to the circumference 148 of predetermined size loop 150. Loop 150 has a shape determined by the shape of lobe lines 108, 116. 
     Lobe lines 108 and 116 are fixed in geometrical space to one another. Loop 150 geometrical shape is fixed by the nails in the board. 
     Band 142 has an inner circumference 154 and an outer circumference 156. The inner circumference of band 142 is formed by string that passes through the outer circumference of band 142, crosses the band, and is tangent to circumference 148 of loop 150. The outer circumference of band 142 is formed by string that is tangent to the outer circumference of band 142 and does not pass through band 142. 
     String which forms inner circumference 154 extends from a nail in one line of lines 108 and 116, to another nail in the other of lines 108 and 106 adjacent to the last nail wrapped in the other of the lines and in the direction of progression 128 from the last nail wrapped in the other of the lines. 
     String which forms outer circumference 156 extends from a nail in one line of lines 108 and 116, to another nail in the other of lines 108 and 106 adjacent to the last nail wrapped in the other of the lines and in the direction opposite to the direction of progression 128 from the last nail wrapped in the other of the lines. 
     In terms of the direction of progression, string which forms inner circumference 154 extends from a first nail at one part of the line of nails 75 along direction of progression 128 that form the outer shape of lobe 132, say 13a, to a second nail 14a at another part of the line of nails 75 along direction of progression 128 spaced a plurality of nails in the direction of progression from the first nail, adjacent to the last nail 12a wrapped at the other part of the line to the side of the last nail 12a that is in the direction of progression 128. 
     In terms of the direction of progression, string which forms outer circumference 156 extends from a first nail at one part of the line of nails 75 along direction of progression 128 that form the outer shape of lobe 132, say 14a, to a second nail 15a at another part of the line of nails 75 adjacent to the last nail 13a wrapped in the other part of the line to the side of the last nail 13a that is in the direction of progression 128. direction opposite to the direction of progression 128 from the last nail wrapped in the other of the lines. 
     In FIG. 6, the wrapping has progressed to second wraps around some of the nails, including I23, but inner circumference 154 and outer circumference 156 are incomplete toward nail line 108. 
     In FIG. 7, band 142, and inner circumference 154 and outer circumference 156 are completely formed. Wrap of the nails circles in order of progression 128 from start nail I24 back to and past the same start nail, I24, and on around to wrap on nail G6 at wrap number 134a and to end at start nail I24 at number 135a. Every nail in nail lines 108 and 116 up to starting nail I24 is wrapped by two acute angle thread folds. Nail I24 has one acute angle wrap and an acute angle between two additional string attachments, one start connection string leading away to G7 and one end connection string coming back from G6. 
     In FIG. 8 instructions for making the first layer of butterfly 99 describe wrapping with light blue yarn. In each lobe, making a knot at the starting nail, and wrapping until a circle having a closed inner circumference with bulbous edge and closed outer circumference is formed. The wrap of pins as discussed earlier in with reference to FIGS. 5-7, circles around the lobe twice so that each nail up to the starting nail has at least two acute angle wraps. Preferably the starting nail has two acute angle string contacts. 
     In the FIG. 8 construction the instructions for complete stringing of the layer provided with sheet 79 of partial stringing include: 
     pin type=makes its own hole in the board, preferably flat head nail 
     string color=blue string type=yarn 
     String starting from the &#34;tie to&#34; pin, around the lobe in the continuous circular direction of progression until a loop band is formed having the appearance of being closed, that is, full circle, with continuous inner and outer circumference. 
     Preferably string around the lobe past the starting &#34;tie to&#34; pin and end by stringing back to the &#34;tie to&#34; pin from an acute angle wrap around the pin before and adjacent to the &#34;go to&#34; pin taken from the continuous circular direction of progression, and tie off on the &#34;tie to&#34; pin.

     This instruction provides in the bottom left lobe, a dark brown layer of radial colored string appearing to emanate from inner circumference arc 192 having a loop diameter LD6. 
     Diameter LD6 is larger than diameters LD3, and LD4. 
     This permits portions of the blue band of diameter LD1, the purple band of diameter LD2, the black band of LD3, and the red band of diameter LD4 to show within the diameter of the dark brown band of diameter LD6. The adjacent inner diameters provide a three-dimensional look and feel within the lobe. 
     In the FIG. 14 construction the instructions for complete stringing of the seventh layer of the butterfly provided with sheet 72 showing the left side include: 
     string color=beige string type=yarn 
     String around the lobe in the continuous circular direction of progression only where shown. 
     Preferably string around the lobe from the &#34;tie to&#34; pin and end with a leg from the last acute angle wrap by tie off on the &#34;end pin&#34;.

     This instruction provides in the upper left lobe, a dark brown layer of radial colored string appearing to emanate from inner circumference arc 194 having a loop diameter LD7. 
     This permits portions of the blue band, the purple band, and the black bands below to show within the circumference of the dark brown layer arc 194. The adjacent inner diameters provide a three-dimensional look and feel within the lobe. 
     By comparing the direction of progression of the same lobe for the stringing on sheets 79, 81, 64, 66, 68 and 70, you can see that a string layer can have a different direction of progression from the angle of progression of the string layer that it covers.

     Given the same starting pin of an upper layer having continuous, complete LD that is concentric with the continuous, complete, smaller LD of a layer below, the number of pins from the starting tie to pin to the first wrap pin counted in the direction of progression in the upper layer is smaller than it is for the layer below.

     Various materials may be used for the string as long as it can be wrapped. Colored yarn, flexible wire, and flexible woven fiberglass can be used. 
     Nails, self tapping screws, wood screws, stick pins and other pins which can make their own holes in the board may be used. 
     Preferably the pin is stiff and is larger at the free end to prevent slippage of the string off the free end when the pin is in the board. 
     In FIG. 15, outer trim is applied. The construction instructions provided include: 
     String color=dark brown string type=yarn 
     String around the outer side of the lobe in the continuous circular direction of progression.
