When I cut (splice) the cable in my bottom pic, will I have enough slack inside the junction box? Will 2inches (approx. One more question: The cable is labeled 14/3 (I'm pretty sure), but I only see black and white in the junction box in my top picture. Sorry for "dumb" questions, but I haven't done electrical in a while and it's still sort of new to me, Is it ok to branch out with 14/2 if 14/3 is going into the new junction? I only need a black and white for my branch out light and outlet. I'm also going to go out from the new junction with a 14/2 cable to my new light and maybe an outlet or two. I would assume that in the new box after making the splice and pigtail out, that I should attach the ground from that circuit to the medal in the new junction box? I purchased a standard depth 4 inch medal box since this cable has 14/3 and a ground that is used in the circuit. I can splice in to the left of the "pair" (in bottom pic) on the bottom romex. Thanks, I only need access to one cable to branch out. One goes up stairs and one over to a lightswitch/light and an outlet. They're tied together in the aforementioned junction box in the top pic. Here's a pic of the "mess" inside the box: The 14/2 is my new wire that'll come out of the new junction. Can I connect a 14/2 to 14/3? Sorry, it's been a while since I've done electrical. If I add another junction at those 2 wires, do I have to put BOTH wires inside the junction or just one? Do I just cut the wires and make pigtails inside the new junction? Of course after turning OFF the power !!Īlso, these are 14/3 obviously. You can see the light to the right of the wires. Would it be ok to add another junction at the wires in the second pic below that I could come out of to my new light(s)? Those wires come out of the aforementioned ceramic pull light, etc. I punched out the side hole and you can see my new "branch" coming out of the hole, but after removing the wirenut I had a "better idea" of a separate junction. You can see that there's already about 5 #14 wires under one BLACK wirenut. There a small ceramic pull light about 4 feet away that I was planning on branching out of, BUT it's got 3 14/3 wires going in and then some other utility that I think is connected to the phone. I have a little work bench area in the basement and want a light over my work area. In this case we get an incredible piece of art made from a unique process of sandwiching and pulling on paint soaked strings.Hi. Process art may or may not yield an interesting result. Process art is art made for the purpose of creative exploration. The focus is on the process of making not the end product. Pulled string art is a playful process art technique that has beautiful results. It presents a beautiful contrast to any colors you use. I highly recommend using watered down black tempera paint.Paper towels are handy to clean up and for wiping paint off your hands.As I mentioned above, if you are using watered down tempera gently remove some (not all) of the paint before adding it to the paper by gently pulling the string between your fingers as you remove it from the paint cup.You can use regular paper for this but it may rip a little as you pull the string out.If your paintings are too light add more paint. Make sure your liquid watercolors are not too watered down.Repeat the process above with 2-3 more colors. Remove the book and open up your paper to reveal an incredible image! Place the string back in the paint cup afterwards. It will make a squeaky noise! That’s a sign you are doing it correctly! Just be sure not to put so much pressure on the book that the string breaks. Hold down the book with one hand and slowly pull out the string with your other hand. If you don’t, you may end up with paint blobs.įold the paper over the string and place a book on top. Leave a “tail” sticking out of the bottom! If you are using the watered down tempera, gently run your finger along the string as you pull it out of the cup to remove some of the paint. Open up your paper and lay one of the pieces of string on one side of the paper. Use a craft stick to press it into the paint. Add one cut piece of string to each paint cup. If using tempera, squeeze it into a small cup and water it down until it is runny.Ĭut string into 18″-24″ lengths. You want the paint to be pretty concentrated. If you are using liquid watercolors, mix them with a small amount of of water. An incredible classic art project kids (and adults) will love.
