The ART of Yarn bombing.....

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

An Artist puts down his pen.....

Farewell Ralph McQuarrie
The world lost a true artist and visionary.
Some of you may not know him by name, but would recognize and have seen some of his
brilliant art.
Ralph McQuarrie isn't only an artist, he is a legend,
Ralph McQuarrie has become a house hold name over the last few decades as
he is responsible for bringing George Lucas dream alive.
Ralph McQuarrie created the concept art for the first Star wars trilogy.
If it wasn't for Ralph McQuarrie the characters we have watched, known and love
would not have been the same from
Darth Vader, Chewbacca ( Han Solo's fuzzball Co pilot )
and the cheeky adorable R2D2....
The planets Hoth and Tatoonie or Cloud City might have never existed,
Thank you Ralph McQuarrie for bringing our Imaginations to life xx

" A fun fact on Ralph McQuarrie is he is in The Empire Strikes Back,
Uncredited in the opening scene at Hoth's echo base he plays General Pharl McQuarrie,
there is an action figure in his likeness."
