Yarn Bombing DIY Flickr Pool

The crafty ladies behind ArtYarn have done it again – they’ve started a Yarn Bombing DIY Flickr pool to collect work from UK artists (though I notice some names from North America too – so it looks like it is evolving into an international project)

Check out the pool – I love this add on to some of Banky’s stencil work by KPdalston:

Very clever!

If you would like to to join, here is their call for entries www.ukdiycraft.com

The ArtYarn team will be selecting their favorite yarn bombs to appear in print at the UK:DIY exhibition at the Turnpike Gallery, Leigh UK, so the brighter and wackier the better!

These ladies constantly amaze me. A while back I wrote about their call for submissions for a shed jumper (that’s a sweater for a shed). Here is the completed product:

    Oh look at those colours on that shed jumper :) AWESOME! and I love the cheeky quality about taking knit graffiti and attaching it to spray graffiti, THAT really tickles me. I agree very clever.
