Pin Art

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pin Art is the name of an executive toy that takes a three-dimensional relief of a surface by using a crowded array of pins that are free to slide back and forth independently. They used to be made of metal pins, but those pins bent easily. Newer pin arts are generally made of plastic pins. The plastic pins do not move as easily as the metal pin and have to be thicker, so many people feel the effect is not as cool.
