So this happened last night. No idea if it is going to work. You know how much you want to do something when fear constantly blocks your way. Badasses stand up to fear and do it anyway. Fingers crossed 🤞 it works. #mynewtorontolife #suzieridler #badass #creativebadass #standinguptofear https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXn8byjfp4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=96qfiemyjltj

This crochet cutie was inspired by the classic film, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I was searching online for a good quote to pair w/ this photo of the creature when I saw the article posted below. Millicent Patrick designed an incredibly cool costume but sadly did not get credit for her hard work at the time (not shocking for a woman in her profession in those days). So instead of a silly quote I’d like to spread the word and give Millicent her long overdue credit for an awesome costume that is still inspiring artists today. “The Gillman’s Designer Didn’t Get Her Due Credit. Millicent Patrick’s huge contributions to the horror genre have been largely forgotten, even by die-hard fans. Her talents were numerous: Patrick acted in 21 films, drew concept art for countless others, performed as a concert pianist, and became the first female animator that Disney ever hired. Before Creature from the Black Lagoon, she’d sketched various monster body parts for Universal. The Gillman gave her an opportunity to really shine, as Patrick was responsible for designing every inch of the creature’s body. As part of the film's ad campaign, Patrick posed with Gillman masks and sketches for some publicity shots. But makeup artist George Hamilton “Bud” Westmore, didn't want to be upstaged. He falsely claimed that he was the beast’s sole designer and made sure that Patrick’s name stayed out of the opening credits.” -Mental Floss, 10 Aquatic Facts about “Creature from the Black Lagoon” 💚Millicent Patrick, you were definitely a @creativebadasses. #millicentpatrick #creaturefromtheblacklagoon #thecreaturefromtheblacklagoon #knitteapolis #fiberart #minnehahafalls #gillman #crochetcritters #crochetallday #supportfemaleartists #givehercredit #womensupportingwomen #horrormovies #cultclassics #cultclassic #redheartyarn #amigurumi #femaleart #femaleartists #creativebadasses #creativebadass #mnart #mnartist #mplsart #yarnbomb #yarnbombing #yarnbombs #knitwit #costumedesigner (at Minnehaha Falls)

“Once upon a time there was a girl who discovered that if she played a certain tune on a jade flute, she could summon up jade gnomes, a peculiar, harmless, but rather creepy looking spirit of the underground. The fact is that many of us have talents like this, but generally never discover them due to lack of opportunity, since one can go one's entire life without playing a jade flute, or discovering that one can speak the language of ground sloths, or turning fruitcake into solid tungsten by singing Sinatra tunes to it under a quarter moon.” -Ursula Vernon 🧙‍♂️Magic is real, all you have to do is look for it. I’ve been placing these mysterious & mischievous gnomes in gardens, parks, at bus stops, and in alley ways. Keep your eyes open in the Twin Cities, you can find hidden magic everywhere if you look for it. 🧚‍♂️🍄 #magicisreal #knitteapolis #idobelieveinfairies #gnomes #gnomesofinstagram #yarnbomb #yarnbombing #raok #guerrillaart #guerrillakindness #exploremn #captureminneapolis #thisismymn #magicalmoments #gnomewhatimsayin #crochetallday #happyhooker #youreawizardharry #minnstagram #minnstagrammers #wizards #gnomelife #magicmakers #twincities #creativebadass #creativebadasses #beardappreciation #beardgameisstrong #yarnbombs #yarnbomber #yarnart #fiberart #fiberartist #minneapolisart #guerrillaknitting #yarnstorm (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Hey friends, Some of you know already but for those who don’t, I’m happy to say that I’m a part of an amazing group of badass babes called the @creativebadasses. The Creative Badasses is an art collective made entirely of local female artists. We’re doing introductions on our social pages of our artists & mind is below! Pls take some time to check out our incredible artists. Repost @creativebadasses ・・・ Our next introduction is, well, me! My name is Knitteapolis and I’m a fiber artist/yarnbomber. I like expressing my imagination and creativity through yarn. When I’m not out covering our beautiful state in yarnbombs I’m running the social media side of this fabulous group, @creativebadasses. Here’s a little bit more about me: Name: Knitteapolis Medium: Fiber Arts Years Active: 5 Location: Saint Louis Park Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr: Knitteapolis @knitteapolis Website: www.knitteapolis.com BIO: Knitteapolis' passion is adding colorful soft street art to the Twin Cities, one yarnbomb at a time. She began yarnbombing in May of 2014, and in that time has done over 2000 installations in the Twin Cities, including Minnesota's Largest Yarnbomb at the The Minnesota State Fair. She’s covered the entire east Mall of America sign for the American Heart Association, a life size horse statue for Junk Bonanza (which is still on display at Canterbury Park), the 16” Christmas Tree at Northtown Mall, a fuzzy tandem bicycle that’s on display in Atlanta Georgia, and so much more. One of her exciting installations includes a Metro Transit bus! Knitteapolis yarnbombed the interior of the bus to look like a forest that was in service throughout the metro area. She’s been featured on Twin Cities LIVE, Kare11, FOX, Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, WCCO, The Current, Vogue Knitting LIVE, and was a special guest on the Emmy award winning show, How To Make Everything. You can find more of her work on IG, Twitter, & Facebook as Knitteapolis. #creativebadasses #creativebadass #knitteapolis #yarnbomber #mnartist #mnart #supportfemaleartists #thisismymn #minnstagram #minnstagramers #yarnbombing #exploremn #midwestisbest #capturemn #craftyaf #supportingwomen #yarnbombs (at Saint Louis Park, Minnesota)
