“Art is not a thing; it is a way.” ~ Elbert Hubbard
I went to my local Library in Byron Bay yesterday, and was delighted to find a small house made entirely of books (used in such a way that they were still readable) displayed prominently in the middle of the room.
The librarians had found it left outside the front doors when they came to open up.
This is how they displayed it.
What a wonderful thing to find on your doorstep!
There is a tree on the roundabout in Mullumbimby, a small town a little further up the road from our farm, that has also been subjected to an act of Guerrilla Art. It has been yarn bombed with a rainbow profusion of spiderwebs. Every time I see it, I smile.
Art connects us. Art opens new doorways and windows in our minds.
Today I’m grateful for the anonymous artists who brighten our world.
that is so funny that i just read your post and prior to reading it i coincidentally spent at least 30 minutes tonight looking at pictures of yarn bombing all over the world! i love it. i am going to yarn bomb the alder tree in our front yard! love, pamela
Wow what a wonderful library you have . I love the book house …I am book mad …off to ‘Haye Book festival ‘tomorrow ,don’t know if you have heard of it , to see ‘Alexandra McCall Smith’ can’t wait . Never heard of yarn bombing but have seen a bike covered in Knitting ….fab, fab, fab, want more of this …spreads happiness.
much love Cherry xxxx
Wonderful! 🙂
D’oh! The tablet or tech ate my comment from this morning (my tech curse strikes again lol). Loved the book house and must remember to drive that way to see those gorgeous spider webs (have friends in Kyogle and usually use the Lion’s Road option).
Someone’s very creative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is how I feel about poetry… I have seen other yarnbombed items but those spider webs are elegant and mystic. Thanks for sharing it!
I love this! I’m having trouble keeping up with WordPress follows so I have changed to bloglovin’ – it may look like I stopped following you but I didn’t! Just changed the way I did it! Kelli
What a lovely surprise for the librarians and such a great idea .
I can see why the yarn bombing makes you smile. It is beautiful.
LOVE that little house! xox
One of the best surprises I’ve had this year, Mudd!

Namaste xxoo
Isn’t that little house the coolest thing? The librarians and I were so excited!!! It really brought out the five-year-old in me. All I wanted to do was play with it. 😀 xx
