My Slavic soul simply couldn’t resist not to post a gallery of images with crocheted artworks by amazing Polish artist Agata Olek. I’ve found Agata’s works thanks to New York based designer, photographer and blogger See Ming Lee aka SML…
SML has made a great blog post on Agata’s 100% Acrylic Art Guards at 13th Annual DUMBO Art Under the Bridge Festival during October in New York City… Don’t miss it! …and don’t you dare to miss his coverage of Diane Eng’s Fairytale Fashion Collection Debut at Eyebeam in February…
