Journalfest

I loved Journalfest!  Even though I've been thinking about it for 2 weeks, I can't come up with any words to describe it.  So I'll just show the pictures!

I loved the funny old dormitories.  They looked a bit like an old insane asylum, but it was fun because people would leave their doors open and you could wander in and out and chat and show each other your art:

I loved Fort Worden.  The light here was incredible, even when it was overcast the colours were so vivid:

I loved going to classes in a building called "School":

I absolutely loved the classes themselves.  The artists were so talented and generous and they packed tons of information into every class. I was so excited to be slopping paint around that I completely forgot to take any class pictures.  Here's one from Liesel Lund's blog - it was the Joyful Altered Book class (and it was fantastic!)

I loved the journaling parties - this was at the beach bonfire night.  Lori, me, Corry and Margie worked on our journals in the beach shack:

Everywhere we went we put down a layer of books, papers, pencil crayons and snacks:

Walking around Fort Worden was awesome - the scenery is gorgeous and every time I stopped to take pictures these deer would come walking out:

I loved how co-operative everyone was:
Me: "I always end up with just scenery pictures.  I want pictures of people - can I take your picture?"
My Dorm Mates: "Seriously?  It's seven am...."
(Thanks for not killing me:)
