Good news from bad (newspaper yarn)

Look! A newspaper yarn giraffe - I am quite proud of this commission :)

Striving to turn bad news into good news is what all of us do all around the world on a daily basis. Newspapers often tend to report very complex stories in black and white and indeed when we think of a newspaper black and white are the colours that spring to mind but tear it up and spin it into yarn and colours and complexity can be found.

I am inspired by those that pick apart news stories and try to disentangle the facts from opinion - there are too many to mention but Ben Goldacre and NHS Choices “Behind the Headlines” do a good job for health and medicine stories.

Rainbow music from handspun newspaper yarn….been sold to a lovely friend for her lovely husband as an anniversary gift with custom song lyrics! :)

A little sail boat of spun newspaper…..who knew there were so many blues in something black and white!
