Visiting Seattle?...Gum Wall...a must see


Hey there,
Sunday morning...last nights fireworks were great...all kinds of junk in the front yard to pick up (those fireworks are messy!). So I was thinking about the great city of Seattle, WA. Yesterday, during the big 4th of July parade in town, I was realizing how many tourists were here visiting our little island just a short ferry ride away from the city. It struck me how great the city of Seattle is to visit. So much to do there. But there is one tourist spot that I don't believe is very well known and it's right smack dab in the center of Pike Place Market! It's Gum Wall. Yes, you heard me right, GUM WALL...as in chewing gum...maybe should be known as ABC Wall...Already Been Chewed Wall. It is possibly the most amazing display of public art that I have seen. So, so...unexpected!

When you visit the PPM (Pike Place Market) you'll see the famous fish throwers, right by the pig sculpture, and off to the left you'll see a small, discrete staircase going down to Post Alley. Once you get to the bottom of the stairs and turn left, you'll be there! Have fun...maybe add to the already incredible work of art (I do believe it's a work in progress).




Talk to you soon!
Meagan

Welcome! I am an artist who lives a simple life on a beautiful Island in the Pacific Northwest where God's creation inspires my creativity. I'm married to my best friend and a Mom to two great teenage boys. These three guys make my life a full and happy one! Sharing what's on my mind and what I'm creating is what this is all about. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm so glad that you have stopped by to visit my blog. This is a place to talk about the day, share ideas, inspire and cheer each other on. I enjoy sharing my photos and paintings with you. Seeing other peoples art is such an inspiration to me and hopefully mine can be for you as well. My objective would be that any ideas you gain from this blog will help you in the creation of your own art but would ask that you wouldn't copy my art or photos without my written permission. Please feel free to leave comments, join in, and let me know what great ideas you have. If you see any images that you are interested in... I do have cards available. You can email me at talkingbrushstudio@comcast.net and we can work something out.

Blessings,

Meagan
