The Decline of Seattle is approaching, at an accelerated pace.

This week was the primary election, and the office of Mayor of Seattle is in play, among other interesting electoral contests.

This week's theme really made me happy, since I am always on the lookout for photos incorporating all those elements.

May I introduce gifted artist Gemma Matthews from England

Her medium is embroidery, but with an added enhancement. All of her work is done entirely freehand, from her own designs, with NO pattern. None. Take a look at some of her work, and tell me that she is an exceptional artist and designer. https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1946493837263724725?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1943241387815637055?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Breathtaking! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1938901834745168224?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Mind-blowing! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1936144529330938180?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1934953513366569397?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Joyful relaxation https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1933533528987480153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Lovely …

Much higher taxes, less law-enforcement and more criminals on the streets. I don’t remember voting for this. Did you?
