OK, folks, I have officially found my next project.

#Crochet #FiberArts

A collage of three photos, with a text that reads: Artist Bea Camacho crocheted herself into a cocoon continuously for eleven hours. In the first image a woman with black hair, black t-shirt and brown trousers sits on the floor. There's a large stack of skeins of red yarn beside her. She sits on a blanket crocheted from the yarn and has begun to crochet it into a cocoon that covers her feet. In the next image she sits slumped and leaning against the wall, with the cocoon almost finished, save for a gap around her hands. In the last image she's fully cocooned and lies in a fetal position on the floor.

Ok following the dictionary pays off nearly daily but today there is YARN and how it relates to the word CLUE #yarn #thread #words #dictionary #fiberarts

The word 'clue' was originally a variant spelling of 'clew,' meaning
"ball of thread or yarn."
Our modern sense of clue, "guide to the solution of a mystery,"
grows out
of a motif in myth and folklore, the ball of thread that helps in finding one's way out of a maze. From Merrimack-Webster

“Of these stories the best known is the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
In the myth, Theseus unravels a ball of thread as he searches for the monstrous Minotaur in the Labyrinth.
After killing the Minotaur, he retraces his steps out of the maze by rewinding the thread.” From American-Webster
