Photos ~ I Am Curious... Yellow
Though the Plaza proper was full of post-runner related booths and such (see Bank to Bay) he group putting on the "I Am Curious... Yellow" art yard sale had a great spot in the green grass. Items still available will be up for sale for $5 until 1pm when everything is reduced to $1 until 2pm when they close up and the proceeds are to be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
The pieces ranged from re-made to custom made and were nearly all a brilliant shade of canary yellow. I talked to Ixia Tile's Claudia a bit who said anyone doing painting the last day or so had to settle for other shades of yellow 'cause all the local stores were otherwise out. Zesty Jenny was there on a detour from her days errands (congrats on the new dog, btw!) and jenyum of TacomaMama fame picked up a couple items with her two little girls in-tow.
Heck, since it was for a good cause, I even threw in a piece made especially for the event. The media is Legos and I titled the it "F F Zero" which is also web color code for yellow. I created it from a box full of vintage Legos from my childhood. If anyone decides to purchase my highly nerdy, though appropriately colored yellow and green work they may even see teeth marks on a few of the pieces which was my preferred method for separating blocks from one another when I was a kid who chewed any useful fingernails to oblivion. I had fun creating it anyway.

Daphne has named her block of wood sculpture "blocky" - she's currently giving him another coat of yellow paint, which she describes as his "operation."
I will be there for every art sale consisting only of $5 pieces.

Great photos Kevin! So much FF0!
Over over 600 bucks were raised for Habitat for Humanity.
This could well be the beginning of a tradition. I could go for some nice turquoise next year....

$600 -- that's great Claudia! Congrats to everyone who organized the occasion.
So, the burning question is, did anyone pick up "F F Zero" by any chance? If so, I'd love to hear thoughts from whomever did.

This is so cool. I was having a stay-at-home day today, but admire you and everyone else who took part in it.

Yes, "F F Zero" was picked up. Perhaps it is a temporary home, so if you'd like to enjoy it again just send me a line.
