ANTIDILUVIAN CRAFTS WITH YARN AND GLUE

i learned from my dear friend ann (pictured above), how to crochet. this is dangerous, because i already have the tendency to hole up and resemble in too many ways-an old woman, i like to imagine an icelandic old woman...

so, i started with these chains:


i graduated to this hat:

and i am inspired to continue-and achieve things like this tree sweater:

this brain:

this coral reef:

and these goats by artist Ming Yi Sung:


oh and bjorks dress:

i am trying to figure out what my interest and budding obsession for all things yarn means...i think it is 1: a coulour thing
2: a texture thing and 3: something to do with the fact that a thin strand of fiber can add up to something useful or beautiful, continuous organic growth, and just the utility of the objects. Also one of my favourite songs ever is Joanna Newsom's "Yarn and Glue" so thats probably something.
