I hope you are all having a wonderful day and enjoying a nice cold beer or two!
If you find this one, it may not quench your thirst, but it sure is cool!
Enjoys guys! Three cheers to Dad's all over the country! And lastly, a massive shout out to the best Dad EVER, Shadow_Stitch DAD!
My competiton will be getting announced very shortly, so keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter to be in with the chance of winning 1 of 3 Exclusive Shadow_Stitch Original Yarnbombs!
I am sooo excited to do this project! I came up with the idea a few months back and never quite got round to doing it. I have had the sunshine cloud made for quite some time and finally decided that International Yarnbomb Day would be the perfect time for this yarnbomb!
Playing on the word yarnstorm, I decided to quite literally make a Yarn Storm! I am rather proud of this and I think it may be one of my favourite yarnbombs!
I made 5 clouds for the Yarn Storm and made a wee playlist to go along with them!
I hope you all love it as much as I do!
I really wanted to keep my wee clouds!
Well, I'm off to work on my next project. Today I reached 150 Twitter followers and 210 Facebook friends! As a MASSIVE Thank You to everyone that has followed and supported my yarnbombing, I shall be running a competition to win some Shadow_Stitch originals! Keep a look out on Facebook and Twitter for details!
I submitted some Pink, Purple and Blue Bunting that ended up on the Wishing Tree! I am soooo happy and I am so greatful to be a part of Knit Corsham!
I hope you all like :)
Sandie Roach who organised this amazing event also gave an interview to BBC Wiltshire and mentioned me, calling me a "famous yarnbomber". This made my day! Thank you so much Sandie!
I hope that you all enjoy the photos of my contribution. Please head over to Knit Corsham Facebook page and check out everyone else's work. I'm sure there will be plently of photos on www.yarnstorming.co.uk too!
It's a busy day! Look out for my International Yarnbomb Day "Yarn Storm" too!
I hope you all like my Jubilee yarnbomb including my ambitious attempt at a wee Corgi Pom-Pom! I love him and decided to keep him for myself- he is a wee bit strange looking!
I also took some pictures with my new camera using the exaggerate colour option! The look really cool and the trees look neon!
I hope you all like!
Make sure you check back next week to see my project for International Yarnbomb Day!
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!
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!
"Electra Heart" Album Sampler
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!
