"Very early one morning I was taking my kids and my dog out for a walk. I saw a little squirrel crossing the street and I squealed: 'Look at the little squirrel wearing a hat!' Of course, it wasn't, but I kept thinking about how cute it would have been if it was. I knew I could crochet a tiny little hat for the squirrel, but I just couldn't figure out how I'd get it on the squirrel. However, if I made my own little squirrel out of wool, I could make a hat and force the animal to wear it without fear of rabies. So, that's what I did. Only, I made a rabbit, and I gave it a mohawk and a carrot tattoo.
Welcome to the Artist In Residence Co-op Blog Spot. We are a collective art gallery in Enosburg, Vermont that exhibits the work of over 40 local Vermont artists. Each month, a group of our members are selected as featured artists to showcase in the gallery foyer. This blog is an additional space to feature and discuss these artists and their work.
