ya ya chou and the sweater vest

i love these gummybear sculptures by artist ya ya chou.

 

a gummybear chandelier!

 

i also like ya ya's new series of paintings, more of which can be seen here.

 

and the "animal consumed" series is pretty nice too.

i guess i'm an all over ya ya fan.

i think i like her work almost as much as jordan likes the sweater vest which is why i was excited to find this free pattern.  (that was a lame tie in but i am excited to make him a vest!)

Gummy bears and chandeliers - have you been reading my MIND! Two things I've been thinking of (not together like this excellent artisit) but still it is uncanny. Stay tuned, if I get my act together and actually execute my bonne idees.
