 <\/p>\n

I just happened to stumble across it because I tried out a new laundromat called\u00a0Blue Sky <\/i>in Maywood, NJ today.<\/span><\/p>\n

I should have had an inkling that there might be some art in store when I was stopped at a red light on my way there, saw this to my immediate left and took two shots before the light turned green:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jumping ahead about an hour – instead of watching clothes tumble-dry – I decided to go for a walk on Maywood\u2019s 5 or 6-block-long business district – W. Pleasant Avenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was at its eastern end, crossed the street and started walking westward. Each diagonal parking space there has a curbside bollard (metal post) to stop parkers with faulty brakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

These bollards were looking particularly cheerful on this nice, sunny day. Here\u2019s the first one that caught my eye:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t get a chance to read its little sign, as I was moving on to the next one:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After that, there was a dressed-up tree:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, one of the little signs was staring me right in the face. It says, \u201cYarn Bombing is covering common objects in knitted or crocheted materials to create art.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then it shows a QR Code in a ball of yarn (is that<\/em> art?). I didn\u2019t try to scan it, but I don\u2019t know that it wouldn\u2019t work if YOU tried it \u201cto find out more\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

NEVER MIND – I got curious and tried it\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..it works! And brings you here: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/MaywoodYarnBomb<\/span><\/a> .\u00a0 It shows lotsa pix that may be from last year\u2019s initial installation (don\u2019t quote me on that).<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to our show\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last one on the north side of the street:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Headin\u2019 back:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oooo – multiples!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sole horizontal one:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t the middle pic look like the back of a duck?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s even got orange feet like a duck.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The last 3 bollards:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is this tree wrapped in gold? A neighbor might be interested:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So that was an interesting and productive walk…………..and even the Laundromat gets a thumbs-up.<\/span><\/p>\n
