How wonderful is this picture!!
This is an awesome example of Yarn bombing or as others may call it Knit Graffiti,.
Whoa! this just takes Street art to a whole other level!
Thanks to Sarah Knepper Rudder's (@sknep) Amazing!! Knitted R2D2 piece
she has really brought a lot of focus to this different form of street art.
Yarn bombing is a form of creative street art where knitters, crotchets etc
decorate a public space.
Originally yarn bombing, knit graffiti started as a way to reclaim,
bring life and color back to grey, sterile public areas.
How amazingly fun, creative and inspiring is this form of art,
to me I'd just straight up call this Happy Art!
Why?
Because It makes people smile and brightens up the world what could be better,
seriously imagine walking down the street and seeing crocheted cover bikes, trees wrapped
in rainbow scarfs or R2D2 hanging out on the side of the road.
Your day just got even more magical!!
Crafts, knitting, crochet, crafting parties and craft groups
are becoming so mainstream popular again,
Especially with sites like Etsy.....
I think will be seeing a lot more types of crafting creating styles from all ages, genders
backgrounds and interests

BITS AND BOBS.......
I've been living in Berry for the last three years.
When I first moved here I cried for about a year.I missed the city, family, friends and Bondi.
It's amazing the adventures and wonderful people
I have met along this journey.
Recently I met Vicki we found each other by chance.
Shes a wonderful art and craft teacher and she has been all over Australia
teaching art and craft to the elderly, unemployed and the disabled.
She has also been overseas and taught art to deaf children in the Philippines.
Vicki has been working with me to make my new doggie toy crochet range,
PUPCAKE TACOS.
She is amazing at crochet and she is teaching me.
Wednesday nights I go with my beautiful neighbour Robin (pic above)
to Vicki's art class its a mix range of ages and we all go for two hours
chat and get creative.
Some people make cards, scrap book or do a more planned activity.
I crochet, well try.....
Vicki helps and assits us with advice, materials and stories.
We have class in a little tin shed office in the Berry showground
where Vicki and her husband are the caretakers.
Vickis little dog Goldie joins us and shes a rescue pup with a big heart and smile.
Everyones welcome and you never know who you might meet?
Vicki also sells supplies and all the things she makes pop in and have a look....
