I Joined Hundreds Of Freeform Crochet Pieces Together For This Collaborative Artwork

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the coining of the expression ‘Flower Power’, over 200 crocheters and knitters from 24 countries created freeform motifs with a hippie theme.

They mailed them all to me, I joined everything together, and this is the result.
