Contest: Yarn Bomb Something!

I love guerilla art in lots of forms.

Graffiti, eye bombing, pottery mosaics, and the fun art of yarn bombing. What the heck is yarn bombing, you ask? It’s about using yarn to transform something. It could be decorating it by wrapping it,

knitting it a cozy little sweater,

It could be something small, like a photo, something medium like a piece of furniture, or something big, like the trees or sculptures in the pictures above.

So how do we make this a contest? Simple.

1. Yarn bomb something. Anything. Get creative, use your sense of humour or make it beautiful, it’s up to you.

2. Take a picture and submit it in comments by 11:59 pm on August 5, 2014.
