...yarn bombing 101...



We deceided to yarn bomb a child's bicycle for the Island Cowgirl store window this spring...The end result turned out pretty awesome...

However, we learned a few things...1) It takes a lot of time and 2) It takes even more yarn..3) And let's not forget about patience...mega-patience.

For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about...Yarn bombing is a crazy fad that came out of Europe.  A form of nouveau grafitti...with yarn instead of paint...or more officiously known as "attaching unauthorized yarn to public structures". I am not sure who would have the authority to authorize yarn attachment...so it really is no wonder that no one bothers to ask permission.



I think this is my favorite...a London Phone booth. Gotta love the British.




They even did the tree behind the car...which I find sheer genius.



A bus? Really? A bus? Love. It.

Happy Sunday..
