garden art projects
I’m going on vacation to Seattle next week… what other activities besides these would you suggest?

I plan to visit the stuff below… anything else you recommend?

Seattle Aquarium
Pike Market
Experience Music Project
Space Needle and Queen Anne area
Olympic Sculpture Garden
Seattle Art Museum
Discovery Park
The Locks
Woodland Park Zoo
Fremont area
Seattle Japanese Gardens
Volunteer Park and Asian Art Museum
Maybe Bellevue just to see what it’s like for employment

You need to get out on the water!

There are lots of ways to accomplish that, depending on your interest and budget.

A ferry ride to Bainbridge Island is one easy way – walk on to the ferry, get off at Bainbridge Island for an ice cream or coffee in town, wander the shops and then hop on for a return ride. Do this one on a sunny afternoon for the best views of Seattle on the return trip.

Other possibilities include:

Riding the Ducks tour – their vehicles will take you into lake union for a peek at our houseboat community.

Rent a rowboat at the center for wooden boats (Lake Union)
Rent a canoe at the UW boat center (Lake Washington)
Take an argosy cruise through Lake Union and the Locks.

The underground tour in Pioneer Square is interesting if you haven’t done it before.

The Museum of Flight at Boeing Field is good too, especially if you are interested in airplanes or history.

If you have any free time left (looks like you have a lot of stuff planned!), a walk around Greenlake is nice.

Enjoy your trip!

Creating with Concrete: Yard Art, Sculpture and Garden Projects
$16.2
DIVDecorated concrete figures have recently moved out of the realm of eccentric folk art...into mainstream yards and gardens. Here are projects...for making mosaic stepping stones, birdbaths, carved planters, and art figures...grouped by skill level and offer step-by-step instructions on how to mix concrete, make molds, and embed mosaics. The finished projects are heavy, year-round installations...a good practical book for public library craft and garden collections.--iLibrary Journal/i.br/divDIVStrong, versatile, and amazingly easy to work with, concrete is the ideal medium for outdoor art and long-lasting, practical projects for the garden. And, best of all, it doesn't cost a lot of money or require special equipment; everything you need is right at the local home improvement center, ready and waiting. A celebrated teacher has gathered the tried-and-true techniques used by sculptors and folk artists, and then tailored them perfectly for low-tech surroundings and personal expression. Work with molds; form over armatures; model or carve with concrete; take advantage of technical advances to develop lighter, stronger structures; and treat concrete surfaces with mosaics, embedded objects, incising, and coloring. For dazzling outdoor embellishment, craft Garden Critter Stepping Stones, a Trough Planter, Birdbath, Little Lady Fountain, and a jazzy border. Every one of the 25 projects will open up new creative horizons!br/divDIVBell Buckle, TNbr/div
