I am super excited to attend JapanLA‘s 5th Anniversary party and art show! I’m also super excited to be part of it!
Normally, I would’ve made limited edition accessories, but I wanted to try something more along the lines of a “painting” with crochet. Whatever you would call this, I had fun with it!!! I titled it “Sweet ride, bro!” I asked Hairy if I would regret it later, and he said no ….
In case someone asks “WTF is this?!” it’s 3 ice cream scoop-kitty cats sitting in a banana boat, rowing across on an ocean of hot fudge with their pink plastic spoon oars.
So if you are in LA this weekend, June 4, come and see it — and a bunch of other cool art — in person! Part of the proceeds from the art sales will go to “Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue & Support.”
Just have to say this is AWESOME!!! I love it, I actually have been trying to design some “crochet art” to hang in my work space. Wish I lived near by so I could go to the show. Plus it is a great cause. 🙂
Okay, I know I always say how much I like your stuff and the things you create (and I mean every comment I leave of course) but this is the coolest EVER! I would so hang this on my wall, I absolutely LOVE it! It reminds me of 70s kitschy wall art which just makes it more awesome. 😀
Aw, I was in the Japan L.A. area this weekend (on Sunday when they were closed though!), I think it looks great! 😀 I also think you need to make more… I want to see a hot dog or a hamburger crochet “painting”!
I bought more canvas to make more :). I always stayed away from food with faces, though, cuz everyone does food with faces. But I feel like with “paintings,” the faces are almost a must.
WAAAAAAAAAA!! This is awesomely cute!
That is so cute and creative!!!
Absolutely cool and congratulations : )
Thanks, Jules!!
omg are you going to kill me…I’m getting extensions put in tomorrow! 😮
Really, let me see it! Or send me a picture please, will be interesting. Cant wait.
it is so cute! I will definitely go to Japan LA!
OMG! That is so cute! I love the sleepy eyes and the details! well done!
xxx
LOVE!!! Would also love to know how you made it!!
I basically just crocheted a bunch of pieces and sewed them together. I dunno! 😛
it’s amazing!!
so cool your going to be there. I’ll be there in lolita with a handmade dress to fit the kittens and ice cream theme. yay!
this ROCKS! so inspired!
Um, what else can I say besides!! ADORBS!! Like super cute, Twinkie you should definitely do more crochet paintings. Also maybe even do some scarf foodies with FACES!! I never saw a food scarf with a kawaii face on it, I would definitely buy it!! Maybe you should just try it. 😀
Yeah in the very beginning, like in 05/06, I was deciding whether or not to put faces on everything, and I decided not to, because EVERYONE was putting faces on their food crochet!
really is sweet! My daughter & I adore all things CAT, this is so sweet! great job! xoxo
Sooooo cute! I love the kitty cat ice creams!!! They would make totally adorbs brooches.
Yep, you are amazing.
Aww, your kitty ice cream blobs look so snuggly and cozy! <3
super sad, you were leaving as i got there. I saw the back of your pink head…
Ah bummer! We went to get coffee and then we came back and stayed until they kicked people out!
weird, i was there till…i think 10:15ish… then the nightmareish traffic from the stupid hollywood bowl. I didn’t notice you come back. I was giving out hair clips to promote my brand, but the fluffy hello kittys, sweet lolitas and yummy grilled cheese sandwiches were all very distracting. I had a lot of fun, i hope you did too. I meant to ask you if my care package made a safe a arrival to your house?
Girl, you are amazing. I had never heard of crochet wall art before now, but now that I have, I’d love to see more of it. I’ve always liked the fact that your work didn’t have faces on it, but here I think it fits wonderfully and mood and message to the piece. Instead of ice cream scoops on some random banana they’re ice cream cats chillaxin down a fudge river on their awesome new banana split boat!
Hope this sells well and that perhaps there is more to come. 🙂
Aw thanks so much for the supportive comment! As of that night, the piece didn’t sell, but we’ll see what happens!
i’d love to know how you did the wave pattern!! been looking online but all the ones i’ve tried don’t look as good 🙁 still pretty new to crochet so when i see new stitches i have to try them out!! Love the art by the way!x
I really like this. Great idea. I also like the idea of you making some more non wearables, like the coffee cozies. Inspirational and original as always.
