Hyperbolic Crocheted Coral Reef Pieces

Here are the pieces crocheted (hyperbolically) as part of the Smithsonian Institute's Coral Reef exhibit.
The exhibit will be there in the National Museum of History's Sant Ocean Hall Focus Gallery from
October 16, 2010 to April 24, 2011.  I'm planning to go to see it. 

Moon Dance Cape

Moon Dance Cape

Picked up the cape ("Moon Dance") from the Greensburg Art Club gallery today. It was in the teacher/student show for a month. Took some pictures and the first one accidentally became a two second video... Need to do more work on photography.
This was started last year before I ever learned about the Freeform Crochet group on Yahoo...
I think I've been doing this kind of stuff for a long time now.  Also... it looks very "Coral Reefy"
to me too.  I may wear it to the Smithsonian when I visit to see the Reef!

Fun in the Park

Terry and I went to St. Clair Park to hear a band called "English Channel"... they did old music by British bands... the Yardbirds, the Animals, some Led Zeppelin... it was pretty cool. Meanwhile, after we went out to supper, I bought some heavy duty chocolate and we each had two pieces... About halfway through the concert I started to feel sooo happy... I thought it was because I was starting on the coral reef project and I just couldn't stop smiling!! we were playing with some little boys and they asked me about what I was doing and I showed them the crochet piece. They were so cute. Then they gave us each a piece of blueberry cobbler that their mother had made. She said her son, Cammy (Camden) wanted to do yoga, so I told them about Moonglow's classes for kids. Then we were dancing after darkness fell and I was really kicking up my heels... it felt so good. As we were walking home, Shirleah and Keith "kidnapped" us so we went to Eat n Park with them. Terry had more pie! I had water. Then I was so keyed up from all the fun I couldn't sleep. It was a good evening.
