Day 178
Pictured below is one of the 4 felt coats that I recently designed for a public art performance by Vanessa Kwan called Vancouver, Vancouver, Vancouver. The coats are made from 1/4 " industrial wool felt and weigh a ton (but look light as air!) If you are in the Central Public Library area between now and Sunday (last day of the Olympics) or during the Paralympics, check out this fun artwork. Get a free postcard of Vancouver (minus the skyline) and hold it up anywhere to create your own Vancouver scene. You can submit photos (and see other photos) on the website: www.vancouvervancouvervancouver.com

Days 176 & 177
Today's accessory is a skein of metallic yarn that never quite got crocheted into something more practical. It is paper-clipped together. For those of you who have ordered (or are still planning to order) a Super! Surprise!, fear not - they will all have a much more finished appeal.
Yesterday started with an outing to this massive clothing recycling plant. What a wild place! They literally have bales of clothing that have been sorted into different categories (stacked behind me), much of which will get sent to Africa. It was astonishing to see how much consumer 'waste' of this nature is produced daily even in a small city like ours. And this is only one plant - I'm sure there are more.
