Even <a href="http://casasugar.com/tag/knitting" >knitting</a> is now vastly cooler than crocheting. Leave it to an innovative lady to turn that idea on its head. With her crocheted sculpture work, Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos has added a touch of the avant-garde to cotton crocheting. I love how crocheting around these complicated animal shapes livens up the household doily.<br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='/gallery/510396'>View 7 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div><br /> <a href="http://www.joanavasconcelos.com/" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.casasugar.com/gallery/510396#comment artwork sculpture craft cool idea crochet Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:08:30 -0700 CasaSugar http://www.casasugar.com/gallery/510396 http://www.geeksugar.com/gallery/136501 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/gallery/136501"><img width=160 height=120 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/users/1/15111/38_2007/r2d2pinhole_1.large.jpg'></div></a><p>Even better than the real thing, this <a href="/tag/r2-d2" >R2-D2</a> pinhole <a href="/tag/camera" >camera</a> comes completely homemade, right down to its oatmeal container shell to the blue electrical tape detailing.
