Are you a believer? It’s OK if you’re not. Ghost tours are fun, especially in October when the days are growing shorter and the leaves are falling. And good ones are also a bit of an (entertaining) history lesson. Here are three Haunted Tours in and (relatively) near Seattle to take this Autumn: Seattle, Port Gamble, and Port Townsend
We attended THING, Adam Zack’s (of Sasquatch! fame) new multidisciplinary music and arts festival at Fort Worden in Port Townsend. It included a varied lineup of entertainment and was worthwhile overall, with, we think a few learning experiences for next year if there is another THING coming.
If you want to explore times of yore (sorry about the rhyme), head to Port Townsend for their annual Victorian Festival. We did in 2018 and encountered many a thing, including frightening(ly beautiful) ball gowns, tintype photography, and ghost stories.
All of our cookie cutters are “handmade” items. Or, rather, they are made in our home studio on a 3D printer. We use PLA made of food-grade materials for most of our cookie cutters (actually, all of them at this point — but there’s a chance we might try PETG for some in the future). To keep your cookie cutter (and you) happy and healthy, please comply with the following instructions:
We do minimal post-processing on our cookie cutters — enough to remove strings or obvious bumps, but we do not sand them extensively as it makes no difference in your cookie and is difficult to do on something with as many nooks and crannies as a detailed cookie cutter.
We used to offer our cookie cutters coated with food-safe epoxy resin as an extra for a shinier finish and to fill in some of the inevitable 3D printing gaps — but it was more time and trouble than it was worth and a PLA manufacturer said, “we literally know of nobody who is doing that.” However, if you want to coat your cookie cutter with epoxy, we recommend Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast as it is what we use — it is food safe if cured properly and easy to mix and use.
