Thank you for stopping by, snapping and sharing this pictures Frances!
They convey well the scale of my Triple Chalk Labyrinth design…

Wonderful meeting you Stephanie!
Thank you for taking the time to walk and talk the Chalk Labyrinth.
The first of three Chalk Labyrinths I made on Sunday.
This one in Olympic Village Square. . .
Not many walked it.
Why?
Because Olympic Village Square on Sunday afternoon apparently was a Pokemon Go location.
People were staring at their online devices rather than notice any chalk pathways being made before them.
Three young girls did jump to the entrance and eventually dared to explore. They were the only ones to immediately do so.
I then went and chalked my larger Labyrinth project for the day on the north side of Athlete’s Way in another public space.
A little bit of the giant Double-Labyrinth I chalked in the open space north of Olympic Village Square and Athlete’s Way in the Olympic Village neighbourhood along False Creek, Vancouver . . .
A view from the second level restaurant overlooking the foot of Manitoba Street in Olympic Village, where I’ve been chalking Labyrinths lately . . .
I was so focused in making this Labyrinth, I took very few photographs during the process.
Very happy with this image of me re-chalking an outline near the centre of the Labyrinth.
This image teases two heart aglets in one corner of the Chalk Labyrinth . . .
I was commissioned by the SFSS Women’s Centre to create a Chalk Labyrinth on their behalf for the first ever SFU Streetfest held on Burnaby Mountain. . .
Every once in a while, I have been chalking a Baltic design pass-through Labyrinth near the Piano at Spyglass Place west side of Cambie Bridge.
This is a good photograph of one my recent Chalk Labyrinths at this location . . .
Was surprised to find an entire half-block that was closed off to car traffic, yet left open for pedestrians at this year’s TaiwanFest.
Many people enjoyed exploring and experiencing my Chalk Labyrinth at the north end of Granville Street on the first day of TaiwanFest 2018 . . .
For some reason I can’t quite yet understand, making eight sided octagonal Labyrinths have always been a struggle.
On this evening, it turned out okay. I think it was the better of all my previous efforts.
This might have been because I returned to the basics and only tried to get the measurements and the shape of it right, without improvising anything design-wise.
Many people seemed to enjoy it.
There I am, chalk drawing the Labyrinth . . .
Friday night, I invested the better part of an hour chalking an entire Labyrinth in one of the Entertainment District’s car-free intersections on Granville Street.
Curious to see how much of it survived the day’s vehicle traffic, I returned Saturday night after the street was again closed off to cars and open for people.
Finding my previous night’s faint chalk outline had survived in varying degrees, the Labyrinth remained walkable.
I went for a test walk, and in doing so, a young boy with his mom observing, also began walking it.
A pleasant conversation followed and the young boy and his mom thanked me.
That was enough to confirm what I was going to do anyway, re-chalk the outline of the faded Labyrinth.
I decided to leave the aglets without re-chalked hearts at each of the turns.
I only redrew Hearts at the entrance and the centre this time. A rare decision on my part.
A safe estimate would be that hundreds of people walked, ran, laughed, and made this Labyrinth a part of their party night along Granville Street in Downtown Vancouver.
Including this young Lady, Karen, who stood out for me, as I saw her truly engage and explore and invest much time walking the Labyrinth.
Unexpectedly, found her instagram post, and here it is…
The caption works for either the Underbrella hanging Umbrellas or for my Chalk Labyrinth below it…
Or Both!
