3/9/18 Spiraling staircase in Fran's historic building. |
USk Seattle has
sketched at Fran’s Chocolates in Georgetown in winter and in fall. Yesterday was our first time in
the near-spring, and I must say it was especially fun for a rabbit lover like
me. The store was filled with chocolate bunnies and eggs (including some that
cost $75 – see below)! Even better, the workers visible through the viewing
window were busily making them. I went straight for Satia, who was painstakingly
finishing the seams on molded chocolate rabbits.
Fortified with a decadent mocha that tasted almost like straight
chocolate, I took on the view I had been avoiding at my previous visits: the formidable
spiral staircase.
Chocolate. . . sketching. . . does it get any better?

A good turnout for sketching and chocolates! |

Great sketches! The view you captured of Satia’s head turned down and toward you is great, and the spiral staircase is spot on!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy! I'm glad I finally tackled that staircase!
Delete$75 for a chocolate egg? I hope it was bigger than it looks. That sounds like a fun place to sketch, although I've been in a chocolate factory and the aroma of chocolate while sketching would make the sketching difficult...especially since I gave up chocolate for Lent. It doesn't seem to have bothered you. Nice job on the spiral staircase!
