Cassette Tape Crochet
How awesome is this? Crocheting doilies out of cassette tapes has to be the most wonderfully neato thing I’ve seen in a while. I sort of wish I hadn’t thrown out a bunch of really crappy tapes from my youth recently.
This was created by artist Jennifer Cantwell and can be found in the “cut” section of her blog. You can read more about it at Craftzine and Unconsumption.

More Piranha Plant Scarf
I finally gifted the Piranha Plant Scarf to it’s intended recipient, whereupon I took some entirely mature, appropriate, and not at all blurry photographs. :)

Knitted Skeleton!
“The installation piece Ben Cuevas chose to showcase at The Wassaic Project features a knitted skeleton seated atop a pyramid of Borden’s condensed milk cans and a cloud of screen prints on Plexi glass suspended above it. The knitted skeleton is seated in the lotus position. The prints are of disembodied anatomical parts photographed in high resolution with diagrammatic illustrative overlays. Ben conceives of the piece as a reference to material culture and Wassaic’s local history (The Borden Company had a condensed milk factory in Wassaic) and a meditation on transcendence.” -Bora Mici
Goodness. This must have taken AGES to make. See more pictures at The Art of Ben Cuevas.

Work In Progress Wednesday #1
I decided to join in the trend of putting up Work in Progress posts on Wednesdays. That will keep give me enough time to actually make progress on things and keep the posts from getting spammy, but aren’t too far apart that you’re left wondering what I’m doing.
