Stitch Wars

Above: "Jedi Training by Marilyn Patrizio." Medium: Yarn, organic cotton stuffing, wire, canvas, felt, plastic pellets, glass and plastic eyes Photograph: Bird and Bear. "You can do brilliant stuff with a crochet hook and a bit of yarn."

From today's Guardian:

"What happens when the twin obsessions of Star Wars and craft come together? Stitch Wars, that's what - an exhibition of Star Wars characters made from felt, wool and crochet.

"The Stitch Wars exhibition runs until August 29 at the Bear and Bird gallery in Lauderhill, Florida, USA. Visit their website for more details or view more pictures on their Flickr group"
