artfest - it's in the book

I really enjoy visiting blogs where folks post pages of their art journals, like this one and here. I hope someday to establish a rhythm that simply needs a page to capture thoughts... currently I'm letting most of it float away... but new days are coming and there will be new themes - thoughts - beginnings I will want to make a mark for - to be remembered.

I'm enjoying working in a book I created with the guidance of this fine friend... who will be teaching book making at this fine friends studio... can you go? Give yourself a treat and spend the day with Leslie... and then you can come back and tell me all about it.

For now I'm documenting my art travels - the cover was from an old postcard book - so it works. These pages mark my time at artfest... my travel, travel companions, my gatherings and my art and the art of classmates.

On this page I cut out a frame that was on one of the welcome packet pages and inserted mica to create a window to the back pages... I like have things to peer through, lift and such.

oh geeze... here they are... Leslie on the left and Kecia in the middle... and i believe Pam - on the right will also be attending the class... so you'll get to meet them all. Really that little introduction wasn't planned ... but nice when it just happens.

So I believe that's a wrap on artfest... it's now in "the book"
