#YarnBombs - they're all about #connection, #community, #colour, #CoCreation and #collaboration. Here's a memory of the very first #FingaNinjas yarn bomb, commissioned by Opportunity Sutton's High Street Regeneration programme in 2016, and the first ever on High St #Sutton in London Borough of Sutton You can read all about it with photos and videos here: https://lnkd.in/gPTJQSG It was magic! Yarn bombs AKA #GuerillaKnitting are labour intensive, they need a core team plus a team of #volunteers (young people and adults, all abilities, it can be very #inclusive) but the impact is HUGE as it sparks so many conversations and lifts so many spirits and illicits so many #smiles - well worth the investment, the effort and the ripples of playfully #creative energy! Get in touch to discuss a SamiArt & The Finga Ninjas Yarn Bomb project for your community, High St, park, venue by email to: info at samiart dot co dot UK Or send me a DM. #LoveLifeLifeLovesYou #InspireAndShare #Fingerknitting #HighSt #Regeneration Successful Sutton BID - remember the more recent yarn-bombs? Those Monster Trotters on all the bench legs Patricia Park?!? PS: when items are removed they are also washed, dried and packed into storage ready for another good #bombing (yes - there is such a thing as a 'good bomb' when you using weapons of mass creation!) https://lnkd.in/eUY2CZfB

Step 2 leave the building open to access by arsonists Step 3 Wait for local residents to complain about rats and eyesore. Step 4 Allow the local authority to spend ultra viries rates on erecting barriers to keep traffic flowing while you start to to demolish the building for public safety reasons.

3moSamia Tossio I have just returned from a conference in Girona and met the wonderful Stella Veciana who led on a marvellous session “On Connecting” which involved connecting trees together with ribbons as a metaphor to demonstrate how humans are connected to and with nature - Stella, I mentioned Samia in conversation in relation to yarn bombs and you two really need to connect! Lots of connection happening in that sentence but isn’t that what this is about!
