Leigh Martin really likes fungi. No, let me restate that: Leigh Martin loves fungi. And she also happens to be an obsessive knitter. So for her big New Year’s resolution, this nature-loving fiber artist promised to knit a new type of fungi every week and post it on her blog.

From bright green mushrooms to sturdy, tree climbing orange sunburst fungi, this Oklahoma City gall really knows how to display the beauty of her unusual art. Stay tuned for more. She creates and shoots a new series every week, as promised.

I had the privilege of listening to Magda Sayeg talk the other day at the Analogue/Digital Creative Conference on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Sayeg has made a name for herself by pioneering what has become known globally as yarn bombing. The idea behind yarn bombing is to cover an object in the public environment with knitting and crocheting. Simple enough, but no small feat when you see the scale of some of the projects she has produced. Apparently covering a bridge is next on the horizon. It’s rad to see someone out there producing street art in a different context.

Bikes, text messages, objects found in her apartment … there seems to be nothing that artist Olek can’t crochet.

Originally from Poland, Olek (born Agata Oleksiak) now lives in New York where she has taken her obsession with crocheting to a new art form. But don’t mistake her work for just yarn bombing. Her crocheted work can be seen covering everything from people in body suits to even a life-size model of her apartment.
