i got to see
this exhibit that i missed
last time. unfortunately the
handmade nation screening was completely sold out before we could get tickets, but the crochet-a-
thon with
mandy was awesome!
mandy greer's new project is called
mater matrix mother and medium. it will be installed in
seattle's urban forest and will also include a performance by
zoe scofield.

here's a photo from the
project website. it's all about water, and so the work will incorporate shades of blue fabric and yarn. for the crochet-a-
thon, everyone joined in to create some blue crocheted elements that will be incorporated into the final piece. it's a wonderful art creation process, that involves people coming together to create, and maybe to learn a new craft. beginning crochet lends itself especially well to this kind of free form art, as there are no 'mistakes.' i am a complete beginner at crochet, but now i am really curious to try more.

Hey felt-cafe!
So nice to meet you and thanks for helping, and posting about the project! Keep crocheting!
Mandy
thanks mandy! it was really great to take part, i will definitely keep crocheting and i can't wait to see your finished project!
oh! I was at the Saturday showing of that but didn't know about the crochet along and was so sad i missed that. I live way over in SE and there was no way i could get home, get my yarn and hooks and make it back in time. Glad you got to help out! :)
i could have spent hours just looking at her installation too. so amazing. it's things like that that make me want to go back to school and do fiber arts, then i remember the price of school. :) Maybe i'll just do my own installations in my house. :)
