Here are a couple of views of Toronto’s skyline showing off the incredible height of the CN Tower. So I thought it fit to craft building blocks of Toronto’s most famous icon with simple permanent markers, 1″ cubes of wood (pre-sealed with a coat of clear polish to avoid bleeding), and an abiding love for architecture. From 1976 to 2010, the CN Tower held the world record with a height of 553 meters (1,815 feet) - that means the tower stands half a kilometer high into the sky, or a good one-third of a mile! Only recently (in the fall of last year) was this title replaced by the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, China. We, Torontonians, have had the greatest pride and fortune of being home of the tallest tower in the entire world, the CN Tower, for thirty four years. It’s all a great reminder for me just how spectacular this city is. This week is for you, my Toronto! What a significant coincidence that I’m also writing a Travel Crafty article on Toronto for Craft tomorrow. The challenge is to craft something representing your hometown. This week on Iron Craft – Challenge #8: Hometown.
