Photo Crawl Journal

Here's the front cover-in work:
here's the cover finished - I added black masking tape along the edges so there's an outline around the whole book....I thought that looked cool

Photo Crawl - Seattle International District

I spent a beautiful Sunday with my art friends Gwen, Paula, Jan, Lynne and Louie walking around the international district taking photos in another Photo Crawl organized by Gwen.


We started in Kobe Gardens-which I never even knew was there....









there's a pea patch where the residents can grow their vegetables and flowers...





there were little brightly colored stone walkways peaking out from under thegrass...sometimes the path is hidden and you have to keep your eyes wide open...

...and Chickens!!






then we wandered around the streets packed with people -they were having their annual SeaFair Dragon Festival and several streets were closed off and booths set up with goods for sale, crafts, learning activities and food...















After the crawl, we met up at the Panama Hotel to journal and enjoy a late lunch.


Gwen had made each of us these cool little books out of sheets of folded and gesso'd newspaper -here athey are as we were wrapping up to go home


From the left: Gwen, Louie, and Jan - on the right is Paula and Lynne in front in the green :)





I'll show you my book once I get it all finished.


Thank you friends!









Love,
Dawn
