Property developer Land Securities had a conundrum. It needed to divide up a vast floor space in London so that agents could show prospective tenants that

My love for crochet art began with Clare Crespo's show of crochet food in 2000 at George's Gallery in Los Angeles. Clare is so inspiring on an insane amount of levels. More of her work is included below. As a serial hobbyist, crochet is one of my favorite mediums! First taught to me by the talented Cal Patch when she had her shop in the LES, her lessons can be found online at Creative Bug. Here are some crochet artists that I've been inspired by recently. Like all Radder posts, links to their sites are clickable on their names. I have loads more of crochet inspiration on my Pinterest boards.

Crocheted food is only one sliver (like all of the artists included) of the amazingness that Clare does.

Some great videos about Ruth here and here and larger images here. Many of the photos of Ruth and her family are by Imogene Cunnigham. Also, this blog, is a treasure trove of crochet inspiration.

I like to think of Michal Trpák's "Slight Uncertainty" as a new approach to urban transportation, but I don't have any evidence to support the idea. His installation at the EBC office center in Prague features dozens of people hanging from umbellas. You can view more photographs of it at the link.Link | Installation Website | Artist's Website...

I almost never make flag books. All that waving and shaking and moving around is just too much for me. But lately I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about them in preparation for a course I ta…

Just kidding - it's actually an art installation by Spanish artist Alicia Martín, titled Biografias, made from about 5,000 books: The Spain-based artist's sculptural installation at Casa de America, Madrid depicts a cavalcade of books streaming out of the side of a building. The whirlwind of literature defies gravity and draws attention with its grandeur size. There have been three site-specific installations, thus far, of the massive scul...
