A Life In Yarn will be a yarn bombing exhibition held at the 1000 Pound Bend gallery in Melbourne Australia around June 2012.
Within the gallery space, it will encompass four main areas including:
a) a frontyard or backyard
b) a loungeroom/kitchen
Within the gallery space, it will encompass four main areas including:
a) a frontyard or backyard
b) a loungeroom/kitchen
c) a bedroom
d) a bathroom
Each area will have items that are real life items covered in yarn [example a bar stool with a yarn seat cover] or will be entirely made out of yarn [example crochet or knitted grass]. For more information on the items that the exhibit will have, please see my next post.
We need as many people in on this as possible. Whether you are from Australia or overseas - we need your help. Whether you knit, crochet or loom - we need you all. Whether you're a pro or just starting - here is your chance to get involved.
If you would like to lend a hand or have some ideas, feel free to email me at twilighttaggers@gmail.com, with the subject line "A Life In Yarn" and we'll get you started. The other main creative directors of this project are Jacquie, Kylie and Jane.
Be sure to head on over to the facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/alifeinyarn and post your ideas and photos of how you're going. Also be sure to tell all your crafty friends about the exhibition and get them involved. There has not been a huge amount of yarn bombing gallery exhibitions, so this is really something to be a part of.
There will be regular updates on the facebook page and via email about how each part of the project is coming along so be sure to email through photos of your contributions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you are helping out, you MUST send your name, country, email address and what you are making or would like to help make, to Bali so that we can keep a register of who is helping us and what you are making. This exhibition is going to be huge and we need to keep very tight reins on who is helping with what part.
This project will be worked on by many many hands and we want everyone to be recognised. If you want to attach a tag/calling card to your piece, then by all means go ahead. We are aiming to have a poster with all names of all contributors to the project on display in the exhibit.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If you know of any sponsorships that we can apply for to pay for all things included in the exhibition [furniture, yarn, gallery hire fee, etc], then please let us know. Or if you would like to make a donation, please let us know. If you know of anyone that is getting rid of yarn for free or a cheap price, please let us know. If you know of anyone with free or cheap furniture that would be appropriate for the exhibition, then please let us know.
AND THE LAST NOTE:
As this exhibition will be huge, we need help ASAP. You may think June is a long way off, but each element of this thing is on a large scale and will take quite a lot of hours to finish. Why not start now? We have!
