'Lost at Sea' Fiber Arts show in NYC

If you are in New York right now, I highly recommend heading over to Gallery Hanahou to check out the fiber arts "Lost at Sea" show, where the work of some of my favorite fiber artists (including Jessica Marquez of Miniature Rhino, Knitalatte and Lou Lou and Oscar) is on display.

While all of these are beyond gorgeous, I am obsessed with the pieces from Miniature Rhino, which were inspired by sailors' use of the night sky as a guide. The sampler has two layers -- the bottom piece features the constellations, and spins to match a real night sky. So brilliant. You can learn more about the inspiration behind the pieces here.

Some of the amazing pieces below.
