Lionheart Project - Crochet Goes Massive

Lionheart Lioness

You still have a few days (till 9 September 2012) to get down to the Natural History Museum (outside the main entrance on Cromwell Road) to see the amazing Lionheart Project created by Shauna Richardson for the Cultural Olympiad.

These are three truly monumental crocheted beasts.  They are in a glass display case - think container lorry size - so they are still there even if it rains!
