Public Art: Peeps in the Park

It actually started out being called the Pub Alley Project back in 2010. Nancy and I thought it would be cool to have a group of artists paint 2'x4' plywood panels and hang them on the side of the Gulch. 

Unfortunately by March 2011, there was a Glitch at the Gulch and even after we had gotten permission a year earlier we could no longer hang the art panels there.

Les Gilford to the rescue ♥ and he suggested across the street. Thanks to Les , and the owner of the building, we found a home for the 14 art panels on the side of Village Artisans Gallery.

  There they have hung for 3 years through wind, rain, cold and blistering heat.

ALAS after 3 years they are starting to look rather grotty and it is time to remove and replace them. So don't panic if you see some empty spaces during the month of May. The artists will be redoing their panels and  rehung at the beginning of June.

For my Birthday and a bit Craft bombing

Delish Breakfast with homemade scones by jafapal Nancy ♥

Sugar Skull cookie fail from jafa T and her beautiful daughter Evie

Despite their claim they were a cookie fail, I thought they were WONDERFUL and they tasted YUMMY!

it's was a gorgeous sunshiney day and I had to put up a little Textile Art to match the blue birds from last year. 

Alex walked by and SNAP!

So Nancy and I finished the video for the Arts Council and then Nancy did the write up and submitted the video for approval.

Back Alley Bird

Yes, the bird bombing in Yellow Springs continues, and yes I do like to hang out in some back alley's. Oh! BUT Keiths Alley is so cool and I always love seeing Rac and Vesh's graffiti.  Notice the qr code?  Since images tend to float around the net like lost little fish, no,  lost little birds,  I thought I would add a qr code. Now you can use your code reader on your phone and find the source of the image TA DA!

What have the jafagirls been up to?

We Made a Video

Thanks for dropping by

Have a Great Weekend

So Ready for Spring

and then the summer blossoms that compliment the bright buildings on Corry Street in Yellow Springs. This is one of my favourite photographs I took of our Mellow Yellow yarnbombing from a few years ago.  We rarely do yarnbombing nowadays, but we are still busy with new adventures.  Hum, let me take that back; I do have a couple of camo yarnbomb pieces ready to be hung somewhere, 

when the weather gets nicer.

We are both working on paintings for the  Fence Art Project.

We have also started a new website dedicated to photographing older women artists.

POWA!

Old Yarnbomb Photo of the Knit Knot Tree

Sometimes I'll be cruising the net and come across our first yarnbomb from 2007, the knit knot tree. Kind of funny really, been so many years ago, but fun too.

 The photo was posted on wikipedia by shrewdcat, although at the time I guess he/she didn't know it was called the Knit Knot Tree. Anyhoo, these are just a few out of the 249 links listed on google.
