..and the summer continues

today we went to the busker festival at the Inner Harbour in Victoria

 

Victoria is a tourist town, what’s more Canadian than a moose in a Mountie’s uniform?

 

or two men from the crowd laying down in a parking lot and having a flaming, remote control car leap over them 

 

 an Australian on a pogo stick with a fork in his helmet breaking  the balloon

 

and last but not least, another Australian – it’s winter down under – on a unicycle with a glass of water on his head juggling baseball bats

 that was enough even for Carrie, we came home and designed an outfit for Betsy, the department store dummie (sorry Betsy!)

 

the tubular cotton knit from Japan, kumihimo for a belt and a triple weave, silk scarf we dyed at the Japanese Textile Workshop with madder and gardenia pods and top dyed with indigo
