Spotting Random Street Art in Philly

I love art and those who create it.

As I traipsed along a sidewalk in the University City area of Philadelphia,

an unusual mass of plastic baubles caught my eye and drew me over.

What a find!
A real collection of miscellaneous plastic stuff.

I recognized it right away as a fun form of "street art" 

 and decided that it was worthy of a nod of appreciation.

I circled it a few times, snapping photos, marveling at the creative genius. 

Tiny trinkets were wired together around a sign post.

Such a conglomeration of odds & ends!

A suction cup dart. Donald Duck.

A toy firetruck. A crab.

Plastic beads.

An "UNO" playing card.

A Spider Man action figure leg.

A whistle. A kazoo.

Clifford the Big Red Dog.

It really reminded me of the phenomenon called yarn bombing-

on the order of graffiti with a crafty bent for the knit and crochet set.

(I did a blog post on yarn bombing a while back, which you can read here.)

Sad to say, this artist must go un-named,

but whomever it was, without a doubt, had a great time

creating this burst of self-expression!

I know you're out there somewhere,

and if you happen to see this humble blog post,

know that your artistry has not gone un-noticed & unappreciated!

You brought a smile to my day. Hats off to you!

I wonder if it's still there.  I hope so.
