This is one of the best things to do in JT if you love witty and snarky art. Shari will inspire you to go home and make cool s**t.

Loved this! So cute and such talent. The World Famous Crochet Museum is right off the main drag, and easy access.

Next to the Art Queen of Joshua Tree is a small gate. Open the gate (It says "Enter") and follow it to the World Famous Crochet Museum! It is a small yellow/green shack, filled with cute crochet pieces. It's a great way to take in the beauty that is crochet! It is next to art galleries and what seemed to be living studios, so I'm guessing it's not polite to stop by after hours.
