Heritage Festival
The one thing I look forward to every year (aside from library book sales) is the Kent Heritage Festival
! This year it was held on July 7th and I attended it as usual despite temperatures that were pushing 100°F.
In years past the festival has occasionally had booths relating to the history of Kent but it is mostly an Independence Day event with local craft booths, food stalls, a car show, live music, and even fireworks.
Generally, it has the same booths every year, jewellery, sunglasses, tie-dye t-shirts, and cute stuffed animals made out of a sequined material.
There are other booths too, political parties, churches, and palm readers, but I never pay much attention to those.
This post is basically a photo dump of the Kent Heritage Fest’s car show
. I found a booth I really liked at the festival but I’m waiting until I can write a more cognoscente post about it.
The photos here were taken with a new app I’m testing out on my android called pudding camera. I like the snapshot look of the photos.
Summer Breeze
Today’s capstone is another outfit inspired image with a teddy bear/ rilakkuma clone visitor
. Looking at it now I think I might go back and edit the hands. It looks like I got lazy and added a stuffed animal to avoid drawing the hands… but they are there (simplistic but there). The pastel heart earrings remind me of all the cheap and cute earrings I had growing up. The sort of ones I wish I hadn’t lost or let tarnish. I don’t think I ever owned anything quite as cute though

Heat Wave
Today there was a bit of a storm! Water started seeping in under the front door and I ran about preparing supplies in case a tornado watch or warning was issued for the area. However, other than a bit of rain and wind there wasn’t any major damage.
Due to the unexpected storm the “heat wave” capstone is a bit later than I thought it would be. I didn’t intend for it to be posted on the 4th of July so it isn’t exactly patriotic but it kind of has a sort of picnic look to it
.I was inspired to start sketching the “heat wave” capstone a couple of days ago when it was particularly hot… of course the original sketch had a pair of boots in the corner and a guinea pig frolicking in The Brunette’s hair but sometimes I have to trim my own projects down so I can give attention to other work
.
The capstone features the Glimmered Piperita Dress from Anthropologie and an ancient red and white cooler that used to be in my basement.
