About a month ago I purchased some art work - a set of stencils, from a young artist named Cody Blomberg. I had never purchased original art like this before and it was pretty modern looking so of course I was a bit nervous. But I loved the subject of the stencils, and I loved the texture of the pieces.  Cody had give me a slip of paper that had the instructions that the stencils represent - How to tie a Windsor knot. Figure 9-46. Tying a Windsor knot. Start with the wide end on the right side about 12 inches longer than the narrow end.  Make a loop then bring the wide end around and behind as shown. Pass the wide end over to the back, then bring it across the front, then under again. Finish by slipping the side end through the loop in front. Tighten the knot and shape carefully. I went to Seattle Custom Framing to ask about the best way to frame the instructions to go with the rest of the piece.  They had an awesome idea, (as usual) so one 1942 Report font and Colorpak...

Welcome to Seattle

Seattle is a diverse and beautiful city that has a lot to offer in a small package.  It is not a large city, if you want you can easily walk from Pioneer Square to Seattle Center  (the length of the downtown core) in a little over an hour. There are some hills, and they are mostly East and West, the North and South routes are pretty flat, or have gradual hills. Generally, locals prefer hat and hoods to umbrellas, but it does rain much in the summers. Wear comfy shoes, especially if you will be walking around the city. Let's start with how to get around.  A single comprehensive transportation system, is not something you will find here, it is a piecemeal collection of random transportation options. It is worth it to get an ORCA Card and load a little money on it, they are refillable. The bus system is cash only, monorail, Seattle Street Car, Ferry, light rail accept Credit cards.
