Coral Crochet [Kingston, Canada]

I found an interesting website on the internet explaining how to crochet hyperbolic planes. Even if you might not be interested in the mathematical background, you might find the models they made quite interesting and beautiful. In fact, they were used to create crocheted coral reefs which are amazing and astonishing pieces of creativity and handcraft. Inspired by this, I made my own personal coral.


I left it in a park in Kingston, Ontario, on a knobby pine tree lying on the ground and stretching out its branches like arms into the air. So instead of needing to dive into the sea, it is now possible to climb on a tree and discover a coral ;-)

Niagara Stone [Niagara Falls, Canada]

Haven't yarn bombed in a while, I decided to do a spontaneous one: On the way to pay the Niagara Falls a visit, I crocheted around a stone which I had picked up at the beach in the Pinery Park at Lake Huron. It was only supposed to be a try out, but as it turned out quite well, I decided to leave it at a nice place at the Niagara Falls.



It wasn't hard to find an appropriate location which I liked: I just tied it around the railing next to the Niagara Falls, where all the people stand to take a look at the falls. From there, the stone has a beautiful view on the falling water and also many people pass by this place everyday. I wonder how many people actually spot this tiny piece of art next to the spectacular natural phenomenon..? ;-)
