I am Loving: Crochet Graffiti

Quick disclaimer: This post has nothing to do with parties. 
I know many of my readers are crafty, so I thought this was appropriate to share here. 

A few weeks ago we did a weekend trip to Denver with friends.  We had so much fun exploring the city.  
In the middle of downtown was a huge construction site, surrounded by chain linked fence. In other words, it was very ugly. 
But, the 100 yards of fence was completely covered with crocheted flowers.  
It was absolutely beautiful! 
It was mind-boggling how long the display was. 
There were even lady bugs, bumblebees, and other critters worked into the design.  
I did a little research on Google and discovered the display was put together by the Ladies Fancywork Society , at the request of the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs.  It will be up for about 6 months while the Union Station is redone.  The news story is here.  
Bravo Denver!  Love the creative and crafty solution to a potential eye sore!
