I was recently selected by Seattle Parks & Recreation to be a contributing artist in their summer ARTSparks Program. They have given me permission to wrap nearly everything inside Seattle's Occidental Park, with the exception of existing sculptures, totem poles and the trash cans...Carte blanche Yarn Bombing!!! JOY!! :D
I welcome all offers of help from my knitting friends as I need to install fast! The big push will be to see how much we can knit and install before June 2nd's, First Thursday Art Walk. Photos will be taken at this time for the ARTSparks summer poster. We are welcome to continue installing after that date as well...and have been told if we fill up the park we can move over to the Avenue. Up for grabs are 16 small light posts, 16 tall light posts, 13 small bollards, 52 tall bollards, 16 small, medium and large flower pots, and 42 trees that have all been measured and are waiting to be wrapped with knitting!
The color palette of warm summer stripes (purple, red, orange, yellow, and pink) will contrast well with the dark, green square. If you need yarn, I took several bags of yarn to Serial Knitteres The project is expected to stay up all summer and be the background for the lively summer performance showcase scheduled to run from June through September.
So... grab your most HOT, SHOCKING, and VIVID yarns...On your mark...get set...KNIT with me!
Please feel free to email me with specific offers and questions.
