I have a background in Fine Art, though I rarely produce these days. Im thinking of creating some fiber art for a wall in my apartment. Years ago I did something using burlap. This time, I look around for something better, some kind of heavy twine yarn that doesn’t shed a lot of fiber.

On local news this morning there was a story about a woman who makes art using dryer lint. She hurt her right hand so she can’t do normal art, plus I think she’s allergic to paint or something.

Sounds weird, but some of her stuff is really good. One piece is “Starry Night”, and it was beautiful.

I've always wanted to do a set of four 'Seasons' wall hangings in crochet. Still kicking it around in my head. I have lots of ideas, but nothing down on paper yet. Thanks for the inspiration!

Maybe both of us will be inspired this Winter? You never know where or when inspiration will strike!

Certainly not THIS detailed, but something along these lines:

I don't know if a person can still find it but my Mom did a lot with tobacco twine. She grew up in rural North Carolina and tobacco twine was plentiful. It's just a strong cotton twine used to tie the harvested tobacco, in bundles, to sticks that would then hang in the drying barns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE-_mHLQ2pw

When she was in high school (1930) she started crocheting a bedspread with the twine as that was all she had. It's a beautiful piece which I now have. A museum wanted to buy it from her but she declined.
