Artfest in Port Townsend is but a few days away! Oh how I love this annual trek to the Northwest to "play" uninterrupted with like minded artists for a few precious days. Much advance work needs doing and this is a sample of my efforts.

A small handmade journal for the trip to record the experience. And below the making of a bound painted paper book.

After several hours spent ripping and painting papers, now comes the fun part-binding. This technique is a tape binding I learned last year at Artfest from the lovely and talented LK Ludwig. This book is for her Saturday workshop " Parts of a Whole".

A recycled vintage children's book will provide my cover. I know that some have "issues" with this practice but trust me, the inside pages were badly water damaged, so much so that I could not rescue any of them for other projects. My local antiques dealer kindly saves these lost souls for me at a very reduced price.

And how perfect that it is Alice in Wonderland! Because that's exactly where I am headed...down the rabbit hole!
