This festival is considered annual but every year it has every possibility of never happening again due to funding. But it was back this year and I worked a booth helping kids paint t-shirts using animal block stamps. Of course, as hard as it is to tell in the photos, I had back pain all day long, a sort of surging pain that made me walk like an old woman.
Ready for action!
These creatures came in waves. They were all very creative, some eager to fill the shirt and others simplistic. One kid simply took the sea horse stamp and made three sea horses in a row. It was awesome.
I made this little print on a cloth...I was thinking of using it in the binding of a little notebook?
This is our mascot, an ocean-phase salmon, and Wizard, a man that walks the streets with his sign. I've seen him everywhere.
After a couple creative kids came through, I started to feel inadequate. Making this t-shirt did not help. What's with the outline? What was I thinking?? I did like the way I had two sea horses facing each other with little hearts coming out like bubbles.
