Graffiti granny strikes again

Okay, so technically I am not a granny, but I am to some people. Remember when I was asked by a local teen when I was doing the knit knot tree if I was one of the guardian grannies, yikes! So here is my latest bit of knit graffiti with a camouflage doll, which I had a lot of fun doing.


A fellow artist and friend Pierre Nagely took a break from doing his mural to come and have a chat while I yarn bombed the tree outside the old Center Stage building on Dayton Street.
Oh, check out Nancy's Poodle Pole, it is soooooooooo cute.

Dumpster Diving
Oh man did I hit pay dirt this morning when I was out with my neighbour walking. I found two really cool metal chairs, two empty artists drawing pads, frames, and a wonderful piece of art (which I will put out for Free Art Fridays.)

That is so neat and I see a chameleon Barbie in that knitknot tree! I bet some people will do a doubletake when they see her! I bet it was fun to paint her.

What a great painting to find in a skip! Amazing to think that someone thought it wasn't worth keeping. I love your latest tree knit. You seem to be having a lot of fun with these.

The camo-barbie has to be your touch, n'est-ce pas?

Love dumpster diving and do it regularly!

In this country it's illegal, believe it or not, to take things out of a skip! I only know this because my young brother got into trouble for it!

It's amazing what people throw away though. My friend Anita works at a school and incredible pieces of art made by students are thrown away.

The camouflaged doll looks great!

hiay lyn, mr.zip, cynthia, olga, a local told me there was a man in a wheelchair and his attendant going up and down the street looking at the textile poles. It is a lovely feeling to know nancy and I have done something that people enjoy.

It is a shame undaunted, but there can be some fantastic things to be found and recycled.

Julie, I hope you enjoy your walk in Yellow Springs Parks, it's a beautiful day :) I couldn't make out the signature on the painting which is a shame.

yes, that is too bad. it would have been fun to know the artist. we ended up driving up to grand lake at st. mary's yesterday. it was a delightful journey. i posted a photo montage this morning. maybe we'll do yellow springs next weekend!
