You always knock me out with your interpretation of the world. The sticker has to be in the best placement...among all the serious notices. Fantastic stuff. and the knit ups look sturdy and wonderful with the message. It just occurred to me that part of a knit up may be simply to allow us to "lighten up" a bit...
Oh Lynne that is so beautiful..... There is a great park in the midle of the city here that is all wooded and runs along a creek.We take Lucy there for her walks and Tony and I have talked about making prayer flags to hang in the trees.When we do it I'll take pictures. You've inspired us.......
ooooh! this song is on my TOP FIVE ALL TIME FAVORITES ... could you possibly listen to it and be angry or ugly?!? I think NOT.
Talk about smiles & happy making ... I LOVE that you put a request for practice on your knit ups AND that you showed up armed with grrl's stickers, too.
... the world is a better place having you share the air. :)
no, you always knock ME out, grrl... yeah, guerilla knitting lightens us up in more ways than one. : ) xxoo
hey tony and lisa... thank you! i want to get more stencils - i'm loving using stencils on them. go to grrl's blog for more inspiration! (and thank you : ) xo
thanks, seth. those stickers are compliments of grrl herself.
lol, michelle -- ain't it the truth?! i've been putting it on in the mornings lately so i can have a good dance to start things off.
Lynne, your knit up and sticker adventures are so wonderful ! I so wish I could be the one to come upon them...works of art in the snowy landscape. Excellent Guerilla Work !
I love the idea of someone innocent of blogdom coming into that scene and seeing your lovely fairy creations. Would they go home with a greater sense of peace and wonder about the world? I think so.
Lynne this looks like it was so much fun. What a great job.
You of course can be a queen. Totally.
But I don't want you playing any queenly stuff when I say 'Lynne, I need another drink and my back hursts.' And you say 'I'm a queen too and I'm not getting off my bum either.' I will have to say 'Fuck Lynne, okay, whatever, Linda Sue, Tessa, can you guys get me and Karin and Lynne a drink.'
Okay it seems like I have it figured out. We're good to go.
Love your global guerilla knit up pole, your tags and your wonderful signs. Have never seen the twist of your sign " Random kindness and senseless acts of beauty". That's a new one for me, but must say, beauty is never senseless and...wish everyone practiced random acts of kindness everyday. Wouldn't that be wonderful!Thanks for sharing your guerilla knit up post. Can't imagine how you got your knitting up so high - and in the snow! Jill Jill
rose, yeah, *i* would if i came upon it! i love seeing guerilla art when i'm out. a deep smile passes through me...
rofl, renee! if i pull any shit, you better tell me to f* off!! the more i think about it the more i think we might want to have more than one cottage -- a small community even. karin wants a musician, and a masseuse would be nice, so yeah, we might want to think bigger. a small community of gentle souls... : ) xo
jill, surely whoever came up with that quote meant acts of beauty that *seem* senseless to some people, because we all know there's no such thing as senseless beauty. ; )
you always knock me out - you a-MUSE me in so many ways - love it all - and especially that little red angel hovering below... btw - I used the same stickers you sent me on my baby wannabe post - they have been patiently waiting to inspire Cedar to belly dance...
also btw this song always ALWAYS makes me cry - for many reasons - but I first heard it at my parents 50th - as pics of my sis and I were clicking by... sniff
hi shayla, thank you... i figure it's best to be clear. ; )
eb, i've just been to you place exclaiming my love for what you did with the stickers... oh my! i hope the tears you shed while you were here were happy ones... love to you...
Fantastic - great choice of music too (did you know he died about 10 years ago - an amazing man who promoted Hawaiian rights - seems apt for guerilla movement!)
thank you, rosie... yeah, i did know that he died, and that he was a big proponent of hawaiian rights and independence. a beautiful and thought-full person... i think the end of this video is his friends saying goodbye to him and putting his ashes in the ocean. i agree... perfect song and singer for a guerilla movement. : )
