There have been explosions in East Atlanta you haven’t heard
a peep about – very SOFT explosions, given, but colorful nonetheless.
The new trend there is YARN BOMBING bicycles. Just go to the corner of Flat Shoals and Metropolitan
and you’ll see what I mean. Some are
full on bombings, others feature just a little yarn shrapnel here and there.
Yarn bombing is the term given to a type of visual but
nonpermanent graffiti accomplished with – you guessed it – yarn. On a recent beautiful day I ate lunch at the
Flatiron with a client following her inspection and personally observed the
unique “art”. The trend reportedly
started in the Netherlands ,
spread to Texas , and from there – all over,
including East Atlanta . I haven’t seen it anywhere else in Atlanta
In other cities, the trend has included knit cozies
encircling light poles, columns, and even trees. Today in East Atlanta
– bicycles. Perhaps next, CNN Center?
