My friend Bonnie, sent me a link to the site of an extraordinary artist Joana Vasconcelos.
Her work reminds me of the art nouveau decoration and sculpture of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona. Her website is animated and a sensory feast.

I’ll never have time to do it, but I love it that now I COULD!
Here’s the pattern URL: Crocheted Mathematics of Chaos Butterfly Model by Hinka Osinga and Bernd Krauskopf

The Saga of the Missing Chicken

Ming Yi Sung is a fiber artist who has a wonderfully offbeat sense of humor. She did a very whimsical outdoor crocheted sculpture of a life size woman engaged in a mealtime battle with a reluctant chicken.
She posted a series of photographs of the installation and unveiling of the piece, and then…. oh no!
The chicken went missing….
Here’s the link: Chicken tale
