YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DO IT!!!!!!!!!! 8D

And thanks so much! This was that crazy yarnbombing show I was talking about for so long... The la yarn bombing group definitely wants to do more! There is one gal who has a gallery down in Irvine who wants to have more Orange County shows? You should get a catbus going, and bring it to one of the shows >w<

How did you get the yarn to stay up around the car? I'll have to get some ideas from you!

Haha that's true. Actually that's a good idea. I'll try and bring it to AX and also maybe one of the shows if you guys have more coming up.

I'm absolutely inspired by Magda Sayeg's work with yarnbombed cars.... She even did a Prius commercial: [link]

If you pay attention, looks like they took out panels from the car to make it stay :o

I didn't do nearly anything as fancy... it's hard to explain, but depending on where the yarn is placed on the car, most of it is draped over, like a "car cover". I had to pay attention to a lot of gravity that goes on, and areas that looked like they would "fly away" from the breeze, I'd have to figure out how I could tie it around the car (which sometimes involved being on hands and knees and reaching into dirty car part areas, haha!)~

Wish I could help you more, but really, I just had to figure it out. A LOT. *___*; I probably spent about 2 days straight just trying to figure out the dynamic of it! Not to mention the time it took to crochet, and then sew it on ;)

Good luck!!! And do take pictures of your car when you get to it! :D
