Ulrika Erdes, a Swedish “artist in the making”, has a little bit of fun while on the bus or train. She makes cross stitching graffiti on the seats of buses and trains, Public Embroidery (how about Stiffiti, Stitchitti or Stitchffiti?).

This is such and interesting and fun idea, what a way to pass the time as you’re taking the train. It is a really interesting twist on graffiti, a rather intimate way of tagging the world. It must be great to happen upon her work, wonder who made it and under what circumstances. Very interesting.

Erdes also has some Cross-Stitch Patterns you can print out to then go out and make your own.
