These pics are from Athfest (a music and art festival in Athens, GA) back in July.That weekend was full of summer music, fun colors, and plenty of sweat.
First we parked at Big City Bread because there was likely to be zero space for parking downtown.
Big City Bread is a cool enough restaurant in itself...but right behind it, down this humble little sidewalk, there is a fabulous art studio by the name of Blue Tin.
While we waited on our friend, Kate, to get out of her encaustics class (at Blue Tin) Melissalee and I were visually engulfed by the wonderful chalk drawings that some children had left behind...
So while we waited...purses became friends.
People got thirsty.
And stars were found.
But Kate finally did arrive ... with beautiful encaustics.
On the way down Washington St. we passed a really cool bike seat! I mean, come on, have you ever seen one that looks like this?
But of course we did finally reach Athfest...
We stood under a line of water misters, passed a petting zoo, Kate shaved her head, and most importantly we dropped in on little art booths scattering all of Clayton and Washington Streets.
