Oh, the link love I’m about to show you. I’ve been storing up these for a while now!

Weird, whole-body suits (crocheted, I think) in pictures by Boston-based photographer Joshua Dalsimer. And I mean WHOLE body — head to toe, including full facial coverage. See the orange ones at the SwissMiss site and punkier pink ones [...]
