looking for art

in which our plucky heroine and Nandina have a tinyworld adventure...

I've been charmed by reading about the various "Little Free (fill-in-the-blank)" things that folks are creating, in addition to the popular book exchange Little Free Libraries. Since it was not supposed to start raining until midafternoon, I decided that Nandina and I would take a few hours and go visit PDX FLAG, a Free Little Art Gallery out in the SE quadrant.

It seemed appropriate to take along one of my artist proof prints of the "F is for fun" blocks to share/exchange, and after checking the location on the PDX Sidewalk Joy map, we set out via Tri Met... The journey was fairly straightforward, requiring only one transfer and a bit of a walk, although somewhere along the way Nandina managed to lose one of her boots, which I didn't notice until we were home again! I suspect this is all part of her grand plan to have me make her some "Doc Marten" style boots instead.

While I was approaching the miniature gallery, two more folks drove up to visit it, and did their own art exchange, so it apparently is a lively sort of spot. There were a variety of different styles of wall art, all small(ish), and we picked out one to bring home, and left my little block print on the gallery shelf. I will likely visit there again from time to time, now that I know where it is, at times when I have the several hours to spare...

today's gratitudes -
1. there is much whimsy in the world I have not yet experienced, and, I am doing my part to add to that whimsy, via the Advent of a Better Year swap.
2. a mostly moderate weather day, that allowed an excursion
3. another free miniature Ravelry pattern, from designer that created the little witchy hat, the 10 Min Mini Basket! My tinyfolk and I agree, one can never have too many baskets...
