Tauranga Craft Bomb # 2
This is our second craft bomb in Tauranga and it's called 'We love New Zealand!' because we do. We think it's a beautiful country and worth looking after. We really wanted this knit tag to go up about a week ago to coincide with the National Clean Up Week. This is an annual event organized, I believe, by 'Keep New Zealand Beautiful' helping to raise awareness about keeping the environment clean and beautiful. To follow their inspirational spirit and to work with the theme we decided to use re-cycled woollen jumpers for this project. We chose two lovely big gum trees on either side of a roundabout in Tauranga's town centre and made two tree cosies out of those old jumpers. On either cosy there's a little message stitched on round shapes which reads " New Zealand - Keep it beautiful - Love - Aotearoa"
Two tree cosies made of re-cycled woollen jumpers about 150cm x 70cm.

After a long time of thinking about it, we finally decided to bring the world of yarn bombing, knit grafitti, guerilla knitting or whatever people might call it to Tauranga, New Zealand.
We're inspired by all those wonderful like-minded craftivists out there who have been gently tagging away. Turning craft that some might think of as near exstinct into street art.
Crafts are alive. And now they're kicking their way into the streets of Tauranga.Warm and woolly regards,
your Craft Bomber Association
