You might remember reading about Damanarie Hosler in my post about Artscape back in July. But did you know that besides being the genius behind Knitimals, she is also a prolific muralist whose work can be seen throughout Baltimore City?

At the moment, Danamarie is working on a mural at 539 E. 21st St., just past Greenmount Avenue. And whether or not your realize, you’ve probably seen her finished murals at Sylvan Beach Café in Mt. Vernon, Taharka Brothers Ice Cream in Mt. Washington, the Giant Supermarket in Waverly, the Baltimore City Health Department and the Baltimore Farmers' Market Downtown.

Danamarie is a wearer of many hats. When she’s not painting murals, teaching art classes or illustrating children’s books, she is most definitely crafting. Her latest creation: Knitimal masks. These hand sewn felt masquerade masks are modeled after Danamarie’s one of a kind Knitimals.

As part of the Baltimore by Hand Halloween Giveaway Series, Danamarie has graciously offered to give a Knitimal mask to one lucky reader. Simply answer the following question: Which famous muppet does Danamarie have a crush on?

The answer can be found in her blog. Be the first to comment here with your answer and win! Winners will be announced on Monday.

In the meantime, keep your eyes open during your travels through Baltimore for one of Danamarie Hosler’s one of a kind murals.
