MN State Fair Junkie, Crop Artist and Maker of Things.
Hey, @lightmikey.bsky.social is a friend and just experienced his first Minnesota State Fair! He and his wife Olivia had an excellent time in Minnesota where they visited all the things!
Laurel Krahn@windowseat.bsky.social · 2mo agoAnother excellent crop art thread! 🌽
The crop artist told MPR News that her viral “8647” submission meant “Impeach Trump… I don't want him dead.” She was subjected to harassment and doxing online.

The crop art exhibit at the Minneapolis state fair is a wonder. Photos do not do them justice, it is awe inspiring to see it all in person. I am especially happy to see the art of two friends in the exhibition, so they start off this very long thread of amazing works of art.
This is probably the longest line for crop art I’ve seen first thing in the morning? I was there yesterday doing crop art demos and it did settle down from about a 2 hour wait to about an hour later in the day.

I was at the Minnesota State Fair both Thursday and Friday and can confirm the number of people there was crazy for those days!
MPR News@mprnews.org · 2mo agoThe Minnesota State Fair is off to a record-breaking start. After blowing past the opening day all-time high, more than 204,000 people attended Friday -- the most ever for any first Friday in history.
Three great opportunities to see crop art after the fair:
Stpaulighoul@stpauligrrrl.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf you can’t make it to the fair, there will be three other opportunities to see some MN State Crop Art after the fair. First— Sept. 12-28 Boreal, 2276 Como Ave, St. Anthony Park (close to the fair) They have great gallery space and are welcoming crop art from anyone who exhibited at the fair.
This is just a kickass piece of crop art! Bravo @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social on your well deserved ribbon!
Stpaulighoul@stpauligrrrl.bsky.social · 2mo agoI got a ribbon! If you see all the other amazing entries in amateur natural seeds crop art category, you will know what an honor it is for me to get an honorable mention.
This is the crop art I made for the Minnesota State Fair. In January 2026 I saw a post from Andi of @afinkandink and immediately reached out and asked if I could make a crop art version. She graciously said yes! I got a 3rd place ribbon for my work!
This is a great feed to add for crop art. Once in a while you’ll get some weird posts that pull in, I just mute those accounts if i know that have nothing to do with crop art. Big thanks to @colefortner.bsky.social for making it!

Currently playing painted seed chicken with my crop art piece. Will I have enough seeds to finish, or will I need to paint more?
It’s definitely crop art crunch time. Worked on my piece for 9.5 hours yesterday. I also have to get it done early as we work the fix-it table at drop off, so I miss an extra day and a half of trying to get everything done. I do this every year, but do I learn? NOPE.
I’ve been making crop art for the last eight years, and I still can’t estimate correctly how long it will take me to make a piece. My brain will tell me “this section won’t take that long”, and then 8 hours later it’s still not done.
One of the many challenges I have making crop art is that as I’m thinking about the seeds or plant parts I want to use (this is why it’s called crop art, people), is that sometimes when I think a seed will be perfect for a piece, in reality it’s not behaving the way I thought it would. 1/2
Here's an article about the crop art at the airport. Go check it out! stuckattheairport.com/2026/07/10/s...
Seed art on display at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport - Stuck at the Airport
A new exhibition at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) features crop (or seed) art from the Minnesota State Far.

Me quietly working on my crop art piece. Husband tells me that he didn’t like how I was doing the letters, and wonders if I should use a different seed. The look I gave him! I told him that I liked it. Mind you he has a lot of opinions about crop art, but has never actually made crop art. LOL.
Here’s an upcoming crop art class if you’re looking for one:
Metro State Library & Learning Center@metrostatelib.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe East Side Seed Library is hosting Intro to Crop Art, a hands-on workshop on how to use seeds to make pictures. 🌱🖼️ We’ll be in Room 132 on Wednesday, July 29, at 6:00 p.m. with @urbanrootsmn.bsky.social and SPPL. Materials will be provided. Register here: forms.office.com/r/29y4AmfnE6
Me before I found @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social on the other place after I submitted my first piece in 2019:
Stpaulighoul@stpauligrrrl.bsky.social · 4mo agoMy little FB MN State Fair Crop Art Community group is no longer little—just hit 1000 members! Apologies for being part of the problem of the long lines and lack of wall space. But also, it’s kind of cool to have so many fans and new crop artists!
Spent the last 5 days in a staring match with my crop art piece. Think good thoughts, I’m going in.
Working on crop art tonight by laying out seeds (without glue) to see if it works the way I want it to before I commit. I’m moving things around and get to a point I like, grab my phone to take a pic to see how the camera sees it…annndddd I drop my phone on the board and all the seeds scatter. FFS.
Actually worked on my crop art piece for almost 3 hours today. Let’s see if I can keep the momentum going and not ignore it for days.
Did I work on my crop art project today? No. No I did not. Instead I went out and bought some seeds I don’t have yet…and won’t be used in anything I make this year. Priorities.
I just realized that I should be creeping on the onion bins when I’m out shopping. And if I spot someone picking through the onion bins and grabbing only onion skins, quietly walking up to them and asking if they are a crop artist. LOL. It’s definitely the time of year for it to happen!
@stpauligrrrl.bsky.social I love that our Fairchilds are right next to each other!
Jennifer Brooks@stribrooks.bsky.social · 5mo agoThere is a Second Glance Crop Art exhibit in the Grandstand and I am SO HAPPY!!
Should I be working on crop art right now? Unequivocally, yes. Am I working on crop art right now? Obviously, no.
