Valentine's Day might be over and done with for another year, but that doesn't mean people can't still appreciate the L Train Yarn Bomb. A fun art installation taking place during regular metro hours, it took on a romantic theme that made everyone near it smile. With a color scheme of red and pink, poles, rails and more were covered in cozy yarn, giving the car a homey feel as though one's grandmother had just passed through.
Instead, the L Train Yarn Bomb was the brainchild of London Kaye, whose real name is London O'Donnell. Also a trained dancer and an aspiring fashion designer, London Kaye threads her three interests together to make the people around her happy, as was the case with her latest project.
