Much to our frustration, now is the time of year when potholes and giant cracks decorate roads and sidewalks. While some might find that filling these cracks with plantings is a good green solution, we also like Juliana Santacruz Herrera's take on the pothole problem — fill them with bright and colorful strands of yarn!
Artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera has filled a number of Paris's potholes and cracks with colorful yarn. While it certainly isn't a permanent solution, we think it's a bright and cheery way to improve on otherwise dreary conditions. See more on Juliana Santacruz Herrera's Flickr stream.

LOVELY!
Hilarious!
should read temporary, not permanent?
So fun! Wonder if they consider that graffiti?
Totally in love with knitted graffiti. It just knocks my socks off ;)
And a week later, after rain and soil, ... ?
awesome! helps bicyclists see the holes before it's too late!
So whimsically gorgeous. I cannot imagine how much yarn it would take to fill one of our Montreal potholes though.
