(Should be in an art group but couldnt find suitable one .. just feel excited and inspired by the possibilities ... )

I am fascinated by Juliana Santacruz Herrera's sculptures.

A form of crochet- based street art, she applys braided fabric in looped forms to cracks in the sidewalks of Paris.

There are lots of internet photo's

From the number of cracks in the pavements, there is plenty of scope for Herrera's sculptures.

  I like that - Rebel Beautification Program... and the idea putting colours in street cracks... any cracks even! This is simply awesome. *must google per Tas' advice*

It must be so unexpected and smile-producing to be walking down the sidewalks of Paris and coming upon one of her installations!

One of the articles about her called her a yarn bomber....love that :-)

Imagining being able to do this in parts of my garden - wondering if the colours would run and how I would prevent people walking on it. Thank you - this has started hares running all around my head!

took me a while, looking at the pictures, to figure out what it is ... what an unusual and very cool idea!
