| Orange is part of the reef of crochet |
Today I learned about a project that is currently on display here in Washington DC at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum titled
The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef
This is one life sized crochet installation and there are many of them growing around the world.

It is a very interesting story how this crochet project came to solve a problem using a form of lacy handy work, my grandmother tried to teach me, presented by
Margaret Wertheim on TED talks. If you haven't ever seen a TED talk check out the videos of the best thinkers in the world telling their stories in 18 minutes or less. Well worth the time to view this story and make a date to go see the installation while it is in town. Thanks to
Sabeth Jackson from Pyramid Atlantic Studios for posting the talk on her blog and letting us know this exhibition is in Washington DC right now!
Went to see the show today and really enjoyed taking photos which you can see in my flicker set called
Crochet Coral Reef
