Sorry - I am no damn good at getting photos in any order! Read below! Here at the top are two close ups of parts of the Yirt. I had to get "friendly" with the guard to achieve this!
All of the hype made me go! I took a Kuz Travel Trip to NYC to see the Felt exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Museum. Run, do not stop - it is soooooo good.
The Yirt is most interesting. The wool is felted with several different fabrics: thus each panel is different. Here is a felt wall trim, a couple of fashion items, a chair and some yirt close ups.
One European artist statement stated she is not a fashion artist because her felt jacket has no seams!
Following that inspiration, a visit to the Apple Store - a sight to behold- I landed at the Museum of American Folk art to see the Kaleidscope Quilt exhibit. Paula Naderstern created these quilts at her kitchen table in a 2 bedroom apt in NYC (who needs a studio?).
This postcard is a collage of some of Paula's designs:
