Reinventing The Wheel

I haven't been on my bike since . . . October? November? It's been so long, I honestly don't remember [Sue, where are you?!]. I will get out to the Silver Comet Trail at least once this year, but if not it's good to know there are creative alternatives for my neglected bicycle, or parts thereof, as the case may be.

I love what artist Alissa Sorenson has done here in her Crossroads piece ("We are at a crossroads in history where we can begin to make choices environmentally that will change our future."), using the found object of a wheel from a road bike, combined with wool and silk yarn and recycled linen floss to create something soft and graceful and . . . unexpected.

You can read about her design process here. I really want to spin that wheel, don't you?!
