Yarnbombed garden gnome
I was out and about Saturday morning helping re install some rainbow yarnbombs that had been hacked down (story here). I couldn't resist putting a little yarnbomb on this gnome in a local store.
Monday Morning
and I got up very very early eeeeeek! Time to trike and then work in the studio.
Going back to Dayton Art Institute later this week to yarnbomb with some pals, jafapal

Craft Activism and small protest signs
In our (jafagirls) frustration at the sudden news of ALL the trees being chopped down on the high street section of Xenia Ave in Yellow Springs we did what we often do,turn to our art/craft as a means of expression.

My Knees Know and Angry Man Attacks Yarnbombs
I can now attest to the fact that the bike trail in Yellow Springs, Ohio does indeed go uphill both ways, phew! What a glorious trail to ride my new trike bike and so lucky to have it nearby.

Hot Morning at the Dayton Art Institute
I won't repeat everything Nancy said on our Jafagirl website, but it was HOT. I've never yarnbombed something so fast in my life, faster than you can say,"don't get yer knicker's in a knot", which I did by the way.

The word context keeps creeping into my thoughts, and what is my art saying, and then I read Andy
Craft Felt Magic
It's amazing what one can do with a little craft felt. The colours make this POP, don't you think? Nancy and I drew out designs in red and were trying for the damask baroque wallpaper look. This is 55"x 26" panel for a larger project that I am doing with Jafapal Nancy.

Felt Tongues and Pens and crafty stuff
I know, I know, it's wierd! It's just that I volunteered to make a collection box for the YSKP, and then I was given three of these papier mache heads instead. Volunteers are going to walk around Cirque Carnival with these in hand. Where on earth am I supposed to put the sign,Feed the Arts?
Aha, on the tongue.
Hope they like it.
