My friend Roberta saw this colorful display in front of the Carnegie Library in Oakland and sent me these photos. I didn’t get to see them in person but I’m pretty sure I saw some blooms being created at the Knit and Crochet Festival.
Pop, is right! Although the real flowers are beginning to come up, this art installation brightens up the city.
Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh says, “Pop des Fleurs is an outdoor installation planned for the winters of 2015 and 2016, designed to bring delight and color during the dark season through handmade, pop-up flower gardens”
Thanks for sharing Pop des Fleurs on the blog today.
How about the close-up of these gorgeous sunflowers?
I love those sunflowers. A great way to jump start Spring .
Thanks Connie
Beautiful! We were at the museum yesterday, but did not go on the library side. We will have to make sure to see it next time!
Thanks Toni
I love it – makes me feel like spring is on the way.
Thanks Sue
Colorful, cheerful display of the Library! 🙂
Thanks Amy
Wow, that is nice. My library has classes on teaching crochet. I should go learn it.
Sometimes the learning a craft is stressful initially- and then relaxing and great to have with you in waiting rooms or travels or sitting in the evening
Hi Ruth,
I am also interested in photography. I have blogged about it and my guest authors have blogged about it many times. Maybe you can check out my site. I blog about blogging as well as photography.

These are fantastic! What a great public art installation!
Thanks Stef
Qow! Such talent! I’m so glad that you included closer views, Ruth. I never would have noticed that much of it was hand-crafted/
What a delightful pop up garden. Love the sunflowers. I might have to go and knit / crochet some flowers now.
Taking yarn bombing to another level!
They did an amazing job with fabric and color… Gorgeous!
Yes a real scene brightener for sure!
I am a member of the Fiberarts Guild that put together the display. Thanks so much for the shout out. And I loved reading the comments and hear how much people enjoyed it.
