Even More Car Free Day


Car Free was so great I had to include as many pictures as possible, epically the free bicycle parking that was available. There was also a booth where you could try out the bike racks that are on the front of buses, I thought this was ingenious because my silly fear of those things has kept me from using them.

Hula-hoopers making us of their new found freedom on the empty road, good uses of the space also included lots of chalk art (is there anything more cheerful than kids chalk art...probably not) and one genius family who set up a small kiddy wading pool and lawn chairs.

loved this sign in the window of a shoe store (it looked really chic considering it's only paint and a stencil, the colours are great)

More Car Free Day

Blim, Vancouver's community based art resource center, had lots of artists and craftsters with tables in front selling their wares. Including Poodlebreath's beautiful work



I espically love the stumps, I can imagine them in a whimsical terrarium. Her glazes are so gorgeous and I like the functional aspect of her pieces, like using the hand plaques for necklace holders. You can find her work on etsy at poodlebreath.etsy.com/


(the pictures aren't the best, taken in the hot overhead sun - she has much better pics on her etsy page)
