London Kaye Crochet
I make things out of yarn www.londonkaye.com "London Kaye is a classically trained dancer who discovered her passion for crochet at the age of thirteen. London received a dance scholarship to NYU and after graduation, dove into the local street-art scene. She began developing her signature style by crocheting on fences. She has adorned the windows of ABC Carpet and Home and has recently crocheted pieces for major brands including Starbucks, Miller Lite, Chex Mix, and the TBS Network. According to Condé Nast Traveller, "London Kaye is the one to watch." Brooklyn, USA yarnbomber London Kaye is a fave of mine - her colours, shapes, themes and humour entertain and delight. She is prolific and I wonder how she gets so much done. https://www.instagram.com/madebylondon/ Yarnbombing Bruxelles

"Just some guy drawing people back to nature with colorful yarnbombs in the wilderness while building a global community of kind & creative people." Stephen Duneier inspired me to try large scale collaborative projects. He is talented and supportive and his massive installations in Santa Barbara, California will take your breath away! He says," Each project exists for just 9 days before disappearing without a trace. Not only are my projects properly vetted & permitted, the US Forest Service has said, “It's a unique, creative enterprise. It encourages people to get out there. This is a positive.” The material I use is handmade by me and fiber artists from around the world. To date I have received contributions to my Yarnbomb Arsenal from 656 people in 41 countries and all 50 states, representing a fraction of the kind & creative community that is 40,000 strong, and growing."
