I love this internet photo of a spectacled owl
looking at the amazing crocheted barn owl shawl
worn by this woman at a Renaissance Faire!
And keeping with the bird theme,
how about this fab crocheted chicken purse?
I really like the ingenuity
of these crocheted and beaded geodes!
This next photo shows artistry and craftsmanship
in the service of science and industry.
It's a 1956 photo by Ansel Adams entitled
Hands weaving magnetic-core memory, IBM,
Poughkeepsie, New York.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders of the
Canadian Football League have the BEST FANS in the country
and they are not afraid to show their undying devotion
in homemade, goofy ways, like wearing football
helmets made out of carved watermelons
But if you can't find a watermelon, how about
wearing a cowboy hat constructed out of a
Molson Old Style Pilsner beer box instead?
(Molsons is an official sponsor of the Roughriders).
This stunning Progress Pride Flag was beaded
Okay, one last bird-related treasure --
look at this crocheted hawk shawl!
It makes me think of the magical falcon's cloak
worn by the Norse Goddess Freyja in order
to shapeshift into flying mode.
This shawl's pattern was designed by Crafty Intentions
and it was made by ihavethemangoes.
And finally, feast your eyes on
this absolutely stunning Solar System
embroidered and beaded by Ophélie Trichereau.
You can see more of her beautiful
art and embroidery here, if you want.

Wow! These are all so stunning! So much artistry!
I love the embroidered solar system the most. The little alien popping in for a fly by is adorable.
The owls 🦉 won this play 🤗
These are amazing. All of them. I especially like the owl and the hawk shawls. I was trying to figure out if the hawk shawl is machine knit or crochets or both, and the owl is definitely knit but I wonder if they did it in pieces and then connected them. thanks so much for sharing these.
These are all beautiful, but my fav is the beaded rainbow hanging piece!
These are all works of art and talk about hours of work? But I cannot lie the crocheted chicken purse is actually cute. It sure beats the rubber one I have.
...what intrigues me about art is the artist can conceive of an idea and then execute it! Which is harder?
Oh.
I’m going to need the hawk wing shawl STAT. Ihavethemangoes here I come!
XOXO
@ My name is Erika -- I can never tell the difference between crocheting and knitting, probably because I can't do either! Well, I did knit a pair of simple slippers once but it was an utter, UTTER, disaster so I never picked up the needles again!
I am in awe of artists that can produce pieces like these.
So many arts we can explore, so much work left to do.
