fiber arts and handicrafts
Re: fiber arts and handicrafts
There's a whole crochet sub category called amigurumi that makes crocheted figures. I *could* have started with something small and simple... but no. I had to try something large and complicated.

Those are awesome Maria! I don't crochet at all. I've made hats & scarves on a loom.

Not surprisingly, I think that is pretty awesome!

I didn't actually notice at first that the main part of the lego set is not actually supposed to be "Starry Night" but rather the scene that Van Gogh captured in "Starry Night," until I saw the little figure of Van Gogh painting in the corner.

Re: fiber arts and handicrafts
We have a Lego resale shop in town I've never been to. I'll have to stop in sometime & see what they have.

Oh that’s great, Al. I’ve had my eye on that one for a while.
Do you think you could hang the scene like a painting. I really don’t have space…
