Paint Party Friday: Very Vincent!

No, today, there are no paints, pencils and crayons involved in my piece of art. Today I share with you a "painting" in yarn and hope it qualifies for PPF. :)

We all know Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night, as this painting is one of his most famous ones, besides the sunflowers. And I love it! That's all. ;)


So of course I had to buy these gorgeous yarn cakes named "Van Gogh", when I saw them in the online shop of an independent seller called Zaubermausis Wollstübchen. She winds every single one of her yarn cakes by hand, carefully knots the color changes and gives them beautiful names. I bought them in late summer 2018, but what to do with them?


Then I came across the beautiful crochet garments designed by Christiane Brakhage, which can only be found in the FB Group "Coole Handarbeiten für starke Persönlichkeiten". Most of them are only in German, but some were also translated to English. And so my Layla Tunic slowly takes shape in Van Gogh's Starry Night colors. In LOVE!
