The idea of a yellow penguin standing at a 90-degree angle in a tree came to me when listening to a jazz concert at Kabuso Art Centre in my hometown Øystese.
At first, I wanted to crochet everything, since that is my favourite jewellery making technique. But since that would take too much time and physical strength, I had to change that. Instead, I used for the large surfaces PVC canvas that I zigzagged with cord through metal rings onto the steel frame.
I did crochet the eyes, beak and feet though, and since it has two front sides you are saluted both ways.
