Birdseye View of Seattle and Sketchbook Project Tour 2011

Saturday, 11 June 2011

Today we went up the Space Needle as you can see from my Dad wearing it on his head :o) This is a professionally mocked up picture because we have never seen skies that blue whilst here.



Feet safely on the ground before we went up in the lift (elevator). You wouldn't believe that it is 520 feet in the air until you're actually up there.


Do you see what I mean? Behind my lovely mum, is the Puget Sound.


The Seattle skyline from the Space Needle. You can see the monorail tracks that we went along yesterday.


On our way to brunch at the lovely Macrina Bakery which was opposite Form/Space Atelier that held the Sketchbook Project Tour 2011. This is 1st Avenue.


Sat in the bakery, we watched as the queue outside the Sketchbook Project grew. There were both artists and people from all over going to see friends and loved ones art work.


Behind the barrier you can see a few of the sketchbooks. This is only a small portion of the thousands that were available to look at. They filled both upstairs and downstairs.


Here are some of the bookshelves upstairs. Sam's sketchbook happened to be in one of these.

 Mum and Sophie, having queued for some time to get both library card and book, finally get to sit down and look through Sam's beautiful sketchbook.


We were impressed by Sam's artwork and poetry. Hers was by far more detailed and colourful than some of the others around us.
