 Please note the above picture is not of the structure involved for the project. It just looks pretty.

Want to help out? We need a small army of interested participants to make yarn bomb pieces for us. If you don't live in Melbourne, then you'll need to make, send and have us receive your tag by Monday May 23rd. 

Please send it to:

Bali
1 Gordon Street
Brunswick West VIC 3055 Australia.

WHAT IS IT?
A giant structure incorporating lights, lanterns, snowflakes and yarn bombing will be set up for all to see.

This is the proposed structure:

 WHAT'S NEEDED?:

POLES
Go both vertical and horizonal. Please do not make your tag more than 14 to 15 cm wide. Can be anywhere from 50cm to 3 metres long. Please stick with firey red/orange/yellow colors with the occasional blue and white winter colors.

LANTERNS
Will be made by folding a thick type of tracing paper into a cylinder shape and attaching yarn to it. Can be A3 and A4 size. Must be lacy and see through so that the color lights can go through the lantern and yarn. Nothing with a block stitch that you won't be able to see lights through. Again please stick with firey red/orange/yellow colors with the occasional blue and white winter colors.

SNOWFLAKES
Blue and white winter colors only please. Any size. Snowflakes must be stiffened so that they stay straight when hung up.

LARGE LIGHT FRAME
We also have a large light frame that needs covering:
Approx 1.5m in a diameter. Will be covered in a red and an orange yarn that's already been selected. A lacy see through pattern will be used so that the light can shine through. If you can crochet, please contact me about helping out with this particular part of the project.

    Hi Kylie. No this isn't just for crocheters. We have lots of knitters helping out as well as loomers. Sure you can make a pole piece. Just make sure if meets the requirements [size and color] but otherwise go for your life! :) Thanks for helping out.

    In ancient Athens, ostracism was a form of exile, used to remove individuals who posed a threat to the state or whose presence made life difficult for the community. Today, ostracism is used to describe exclusion or isolation, often of groups and individuals who disagree with prevailing opinions.
