Opening Night

We did it!  Lake Bonneville Crochet Reef opened Friday night at Westminster College.  This is 10 months worth of work of over 20 crochet artists, and 165 students from area schools and summer programs.

We had a pretty good turn out.  If you missed the opening, the exhibit will be up through the month of November.

Our reef has giant starfish....

and giant brain coral!

Frilly coral...

and loopy, twisty kelp like pieces.

Large plushy organisms....

and smaller, sharp pointed ones!

The variety is endless.

The visitors seemed very taken by the swimming fish and jelly fish.

We even have a resident gull!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this first incarnation of the Lake Bonneville Crochet Reef!
