Easy to do too much on this, maybe?

I like your style. Very clean and precise, no waste.

The string looks great, how did you make it? Drawing the string with the quick selection tool then shading it?

Thanks for your comment, Your on the right lines, Using the pen tool I made a curly line around the legs, then applied a white brush stroke to it and shaded the ends. Then duplicated it a load of times and using transform/warp wrapped each strand around the legs to look as real as possible, tied a not in the end, applied a small amount of Gaussian blur then opened a brightness and contrast layer with just the string masked and messed around with that. But it still looked too clean cut so I applied some noise and by shear fluke, I applied the noise to the whole Brightness and contrast layer mask and it just looked right. I later tried applying it to just the string but it looked too fake.
Its funny how accidents happen like that and you end up with something better than you thought you could get.
