This painting Yarn Bomb Tree was inspired by the trees in Austin who have been lovingly covered in colorful, knitted yarn. These photos illustrate the transformation of this particular painting with process shots. The final result is found at the bottom of this post, or on Judy’s website.
Enjoy!

Back in my Gayla Sue days, we put contact paper on trees — patterns of brick, etc. It got her through art school, 40 years ago.
Hi Chris! I like that contact paper idea! Thanks for your comments!
I love your artwork, it is so inspiring. Yarn Bomb Tree is colorful, happy and full of life. My heart is full and I am enjoying your blog so much. Thanks
Hi Blue Cloth, Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you like Yarn Bomb Tree!
Judy – this collaged painting is simply beautiful! It holds everything I love: birds, owls, trees, leaves, rich color, collaged elements and textiles in the element of yarn. I love that it captures the public art movement too.
Thank you Janet! I’m glad you like it and that you found me! You’re encouragement keeps me going! Email me when you come back to Austin!
