This past Saturday, I went to the Urban Craft Uprising at the Seattle Center. It was a great sunny day and I was looking forward to the adventure.
It was small (compared to the Seattle Home Show) but just right for an hour, or so, of exploring. I bought a bar of soap from Estrella,
a card from Pushing The ‘Lope,
and a pack of thank you cards from Shorthand Press.
(The banding on the images is an artifact of my scanner. Sorry.)
I also got a chance to briefly chat with Bre Pettis about the MAKE magazine weekend projects video he did with Allison Kudla: Make Your Own Thanksgiving Turkey Out of Paper! I commented that it was nice to see something come out of the DXARTS program that didn’t require using a supercollider or electron microscope.
I saw several hand-bound journals that inspired me to learn, and do more with bookbinding. I also saw scarves, shirts, and belt buckles, but I wasn’t in a clothes buying mood.
All-in-all, I had fun and was inspired!
