Tree Sweater: Progress Report









Above is the tree that will soon be the coziest tree in all of Bemidji! 
I decided on a yellow, orange, cream, pink, and lemongrass green color scheme... I had lots of Lion Brand Thick & Quick yarn scraps in those colors to use up, so it worked out really well!

As of today I have crocheted the trunk piece as well as 3 of the four branches! I am hoping to finish up crocheting the remaining piece tonight and possibly install the tree sweater tomorrow... (weather permitting) I will be sure to post pics of the transformation!

Yellow Umbrella Artist

With Remote
Nate Nolting
Bemidji MN


My artwork is the culmination of elements from my daily life, varying from the cute to bizarre. Found art, little doodles, scans and photos are frankensteined together to create an intense and alluring graphic pallet, through the use of screen printing, street art and stencils.


I really get the most satisfaction from a piece when ink is laying down on a surface for the first time. Most of my printing skill is self taught from much trial and error. Taking any idea, no matter how freakishly weird it is, into a tangible state helps me close one chapter in life and move on to another.
