Just plain interesting
This was handmade like nobody's business.
I saw this on a lamppost a few days back, and thought it was quite a bit of interesting street art.
You’ll see by the end of this story why it won’t be (or shouldn’t be) at the same location anymore.
Its location during this photo shoot was a post outside the Alberta Craft Gallery, the southwest corner of 102 Avenue and 106 Street.
If my poor photography skills are hampering your reading, here’s what it says:
All summer long
A dog named Daisy
raised a baby fawn.
When the spots faded
poor Daisy was
left to be lonely again.
So, does anyone out there know the story here? Have you seen something like this anywhere else in the city?
You can see from the following photos that the fabric was stitched onto the post, which takes more skill than I probably have with thread and needle.
Also, the note mentions it will be taken down by the artist by a set date, which is kind of nice, and kind of a request I suppose.

Perhaps by the same person who put up flowers and a take-a-pebble display, all sewn, downtown last summer?
What could be their next work? Perhaps a single plum floating in perfume served in a man’s hat.
Eri, I hadn’t seen that. Neat.
ded, I just don’t get art.
I really did think it was kind of cool to see this though. I feel the same way when I see sweet posters or other “graffiti” that’s cool or inspiring. Actually, you’ve probably seen some of those on our main page in the flash rotator (or in last Friday’s events listing).
