Unique? That could be anything!
Somewhere there is a bird with a lot of feathers much like this one, yet each one is unique.
I wish I knew what kind of bird makes such extravagantly lovely feathers!
Every leaf on a tree is unique, and this one more so than most. Some sort of insect has chewed away parts of the leaf, revealing the unique pattern of the veins,. Photographed in front of a curtain, back-lit by the summer sun shining through coloured glass, it becomes something new and strange.
Melbourne’s City square is currently embellished with colourful yarn, each piece of knitting or crochet as unique as a feather or a leaf.
Different people have made their various squares, before joining them together in an harmonious whole.
Yarn-bombing has spread rapidly and wildly throughout the world in only ten or so years, but no matter how often the theme is repeated, each one is unique.
Quite a few years ago, I did a one day class in Chinese brush painting. Anyone who has tried it will know how difficult it is to guide the brush stroke with the whole body instead of the wrist. We spent much of the day painting more or less recognizable fish.
One day not long after, I took out my moon-palace paper, ink stick and well, and my brush, and by some unique accident, and absolutely no forethought, I produced a recognizable drawing of Kurt Cobain. I think it reveals a little of his unique humanity, which is not really much different from anyone else’s.
We are all unique in the part we play in the harmonious whole.
Wow I had never heard of Yarn-bombing before now…. so cool how people contribute to a project together that way. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to be of service! ‘Search’ the yarn-bombed tank – it’s pretty amazing.
