Yarnbombers: The Craft Club
Essex, England Installation Date: August 25, 2014
Deadline for Contributions: August 10, 2014 Contribution Restrictions: Must be crocheted Mailing Address for Contributions: Mrs R Burton 15 Fairview Crescent Benfleet, Essex, SS7 4JP UK What happens to the material after it is removed? Hoping to auction of the bigger items to raise money for the hospice, the other items will be used at the hospice. Description: We are attempting to beat the Guinness World Record attempt of number of crochet sculptures in one installation, the current being 4061. Our theme for the yarnbomb is Enid Blyton's boom The Magic Faraway Tree, which features characters like Silky the Fairy, Moonface and Mr Saucepan Head, as well as lots of imps, pixies and magical land creatures. Our yarnbomb will have some very large sculptures which are about 4ft tall and then very small items like flowers, toadstools, birds, owls, sunshines, hedgehogs etc. We are calling on the crochet community to help us beat this record and any donations are gratefully accepted. So far we have had donations from as far as America and Mauritius all of which have been tagged with the person who has made it's name on it. The yarnbomb will be installed at Little Havens Hospice (havens hospice) in Essex, which provides care for children with life limiting illnesses. The yarnbomb will be part of their creative play activities and be installed in their sensory garden. If you would like to be part of it please email us at [email protected] Much love The Craft Club Girls |
