Here's another really cool letter as proof:
I
really enjoyed Totally Tangled and it is the one book I keep in my bag
with my tangle supplies. I thought you may want to see what I was
inspired to paint. I am primarily a fiber artist: spinning, weaving, dyeing (you can see
what I do in my etsy store). I admit I hate to exercise. I find nothing productive about walking for an hour in front of a TV. I love spinning yarn. Combine the two and I will exercise happily.
So I converted an exercise bike to a spinning wheel. I designed it to look like an antique sewing machine and used tangles inspired by your book to paint the frame. Here are a couple of photos.

It really works and she has posted the steps for creating the machine on her blog Joy Did It.
That is absolutely amazing. What a great idea.

Exercise AND yarn spinning! Brilliant! Maybe I should dust off my spinning wheel!
ReplyDeleteCan you combine an exercise bike, a spinning wheel AND a duster? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow creative! Combining the dreaded exercise routine with something you love. She is amazing. Love the gold artwork on the bike.
