Crocheted Wasp Nest -update 1

Inspiration - Crochet at the edge

Her work reminds me of the art nouveau decoration and sculpture of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona. Her website is animated and a sensory feast.

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.
