I was lucky enough to be part of the YARN BOMBING WINE project at Taranga Winery in South Australia. We yarn bombed an old and gnarled grape vine, which was subsequently photographed and used as the cover art on a wine label. The Wine is a 2012 South Australian Shiraz. See the website for Yarn Bomb Wine
This wine was produced by Corrina Wright at Tarranga Winery South Australia. Special mention goes to Sarah-Jane Cooke for working with me on yarn bombing the vine.
I was attempting to print some old photographs and they just kept turning out wrong, the ink was uneven and there were lines through the photographs. Eventually I gave up on my printer, but I was’t ready the throw out my prints so I decided I should embroider the paper over the photos. The pictures in this post are the result of my experimentation with sewing on paper photographs. These photos originally hail from the 1940s, 1930’s and 1920’s.
Since I yarn bombed the poles on my front porch, door to door salesmen have stopped knocking on my door, not sure what puts them off, but I’m pleased.
I like to use really bright colours on my yarn bombed poles. I like to knit textured stitches & to sew crochet or tapestry adornments on them.
Yarn bombing looks great on oddly shaped poles.
This pink & blue pole is a knit crochet blend.
As long as you use great colours you don’t need to be a great knitter. Craft should be fun.
This yarn bombed gun is a colourful knitted toy gun made for play not war.
Cross stitch not war. Flip the middle digit to war.
Rainbows not rage. Cross stitch on black aida fabric.
This hand sculpture has been adorned with a fab yarn bomb watch. This glossy sculpture is pointing the finger in the direction of craft.
