She and fellow artist
Ashley Jane McIntyre crocheted brightly colored butterfly wings at Edna’s Porch for the event. Think of “selfie walls” murals on buildings meant to give people a creative backdrop for photos. Same concept, but as a fiber-art installation, and they’re calling it “Wonder Wings.”
“We thought of spring and summer all these fun colors and animals that come with that and kind of wanted to do butterflies,” Zimmerman said.
Asked how much yarn it took, Zimmerman laughed. “Oh, goodness,” she said.
All told, it took about 10 skeins a bundle of yarn that contains about 350 yards of the stuff. And folks who want to see it will have to hurry. It’s only temporary. But Zimmerman encourages people to not just snap photos of themselves or their dogs in front of the wings but to walk around and check out the work of other artists.
