39 Fairy Drops - 21st May 2012

Hey Shadows!

Sorry it's been a while! This is just a quick mini yarnbomb that I hope you all like and you may learn something too!

Did you all know how fairies are born?

Legend has it that little droplets appear in trees during the night and after a few days they burst open and create a fairy! The colour of the droplet determines the colour of the fairy wings!

How exciting???

Below you can see two fairy drops, a little pink one and a little blue one, hanging side by side.

The fairies appear to have burst out of the droplets and are now probably living in the trees or tall grasses near by.

If your out and about in Edinburgh, keep your eyes peeled in the gardens, you might just see the mysterious Blue and Pink fairies one day!

Hope you all enjoy!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.

38 Electra Heart Yarnstorm - 5th May 2012

Hey Guys!

Recently I have became obsessed with Marina & The Diamonds and her new album "Electra Heart" is an awesome body of work!

I really wanted to do something to promote the album, like I did this time last year in project 8 for Simon Curtis!

So I decided to knit 16 hearts - 1 for each track on the album! I made 8 black hearts, marking the signature heart on Electra's cheek. I then made 8 hearts in a Bubblegum (Bitch!) Pink colour to reflect the albums imagery/colourscape for the promotion!

To finish the campaign off and make a bigger statement. I took reference from the song "Teen Idle" that opens with "I wanna be a bottle blonde..." and made an Electra-esque Bottle Blonde hairpiece and hairband. I then finished this off with a Bubblegum Bubble referencing opening track "Bubblegum Bitch" and put both pieces on a statue near the heart yarnstorm.

I hope you all like! The support from Marina & The Diamonds fanpages/accounts has been outstanding!

Let's get "Electra Heart" to number 1! An amazingly crafted album of dark lyrics over sugary pop beats, dark moments, happy moments, love, heartbreak- Marina has a way with words and the voice to carry them off! Please do check it out!

I really hope you all enjoyed this yarnbomb! If you like the songs, go support Marina and buy the album! It truly is AMAZING!

I'll leave you now with my favourite track performed acoustically! DAM that girl can sing!

See you all soon!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.

37 My 1st Birthday! - 9th April 2012

Hey Shadows!

 

Thank you so much to everyone that has viewed my blog over the last year! Thank you for liking what I do and for all your kind comments!

I cannot believe it's only been one year!

From three wee simple bows representing Shadow, Sunshine and Love, to Candy Trees, Yarncakes travelling around Canada, collaborations at halloween and the creation of The Yarnvent Calendar I'm quite proud of what I've achieved this year!
 

To mark my 1st Birthday, I decided to recreate my first ever yarnbomb!

 

I hope you all like my new bigger Shadow, Sunshine and Love bows!

 

Shadow, Sunshine & Love Bows!

36 Easter Carrot & Chick - 8th April 2012

Hey Guys!

I hope you all have a great EASTER!

This was a last minute project as I realised time had slipped away from me and I had nothing made for an Easter yarnbomb.

The Easter Bunny has been so busy delivering eggs for everyone that she lost one of her favourite carrots! Thankfully her friend fluffy chicken has loctaed it and is standing guard until she can return to collect it!

I hope you all like it!

Check back tomorrow for my 1st Birthday Yarnbomb!

Tomorrow Shadow_Stitch will be 1 years old! A whole year of yarnbombing!

I cannot believe it!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.

34 Cheeky Monkey - 18th March 2012

Hey,

Second yarnbomb today! A cheeky wee monkey has been swinging in a tree and eating bananas! I managed to get a sneaky pic of his tail after he'd flung his banana peel away and fled the scene!

I hope you guys like them! Let me know if you find them - I'd love to hear from you!

Anyway, I've got quite a few yarnbombs planned that I'm working on already so hopefully you'll see alot more from me over the next few months!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.

33 Mothers Day - 18th March 2012

Hey Guys!

It's Mother's Day in the UK so I thought I'd make a wee bouquet of flowers for someone to find and hopefully give to their Mum!

I was going to make pom-pom flowers but when I started to make them, I really liked them like this! I thought they looked cute! I hope you all like!

I hope someone finds them and gives them a home!

Shadow, Sunshine, Love.
