D. and I are busybusybusy at the moment, working hard so we can actually take a little vacation with clear consciences, so I’m entirely cheating by dropping everything in the middle of the day and posting this, BUT! — please click here, and tell me it is not the COOLEST DARNED THING YOU HAVE SEEN! (Today. This hour. This morning. Something.)I would have included the pic., but it’s copyrighted and all, so just look at it. It’ll only take a sec.
I have often had overwhelming envy and an attitude of complete and utter craptastictude (Say: crap-tas-ti-sood) about my sewing/crocheting/knitting abilities as compared to the talents of others — but this, THIS is something I could do. It took Canadian artisan Woolly Fabulous (Odile Gova) only a glue gun, thrift-store doilies, and four or five hours to do this project — and it’s fey and whimsical, and utterly gorgeous.
A glue gun and a thrifting expedition: I LIKE! Can you imagine doing this to a tree (or series of trees) along a path — or in your backyard, next to a big tree where you can drag a picnic table? Or on the tree holding up your kid’s tree house??? Or just on the edge of your garden to protect the trunks from the deer…? Or at an outdoor wedding? All I need now is a tree. And a house…

Reminds me of those henna tatoos – except this isn’t henna. Or a tatoo. Or on an arm. Other than that, it’s strikingly similar.
Very cool!

OMG! that is awesome. Makes me just want to sit under that tree all the time and at that picnic table you are talking about! That is awesome.
Very pretty!
Very cool photo! There are a lot of interesting fiber artists out there.
Wow…I'll never look at a doily in quite the same way again. There truly are all kinds of art!
TOO COOL!
