Int. Yarn Bombing Day -Recap 4


All photographs courtesy of Suzanne Tidwell

Suzanne Tidwell wrote to tell me that she has another project up in Seattle. She says:

The next time you visit Seattle you have to make a trip to Pioneer Square to see my latest creation in Occidental Park. About a month ago I applied to a call for artists to create an installation for Seattle Parks & Recreation’s summer ARTSparks program. I proposed filling the entire park with bright sunrise/sunset striped wraps for all the trees, light posts, and bollards.

I began installing last week so I could get as much up as possible before International Yarn Bombing Day…but it may take longer so I’ve given myself through the end of June ;) The project is scheduled to stay up until September.

These colors are so yummy. Thanks for letting us know about your project Suzanne – I definitely want to check these out in person.

In the Pacific Northwest? See them for yourself at:
Spring has sprung!…April 2-June 24

    I totally saw these in Seattle the weekend before last! We were whizzing by in a cab and I suddenly saw them and shouted to my boyfriend “OMG YARNBOMBED TREES DID YOU SEE THEM????” Didn’t get a chance to see up close sadly, but they were very big and bright!
