Laura Mappin is a Bay Area artist, who specializes in perverse permutations of everyday handicrafts.
Her latest exhibit, “When Doilies Go Bad,” runs at the Soap Gallery through September 27th. (A doily is an ornamental mat that goes beneath a plate or bowl.) In addition to doilies like the one featured here, she’s got penis-shaped doilies, vulva-shaped doilies, doilies in a box, doilies with a fox…
If that’s not enough to satisfy your hunger for vulva-shaped yarnwork, Mappin also sells vulva-shaped crochets.
If you’re interested in learning how to make household genitalia, you can take a class with her at the TechShop in Menlo Park.

Now I want to learn to crochet. I want to crochet all night long.
