Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - May 31, 2019
Hello everyone,
Had a great time at NPBAF taking workshops from 2 instructors whose work I admire - what a treat! Being able to meet my fellow makers, creators and artists who follow my centralized paer & book arts related calendar - priceless! Also had a chance to enjoy lighthouses, natural formations caused by the crashing waves on the coast and other things - Port Meares point and lighthouse, Neskowin Ghost Forest, Devil's Punchbowl, walking through the bones of a grey whale at Don David Park in Newport, OR, Thor's Well, Devil's Churn, Umpqua River lighthouse, or beachcombing at Agate Beach, End of the Trail museum (small native American museum at Trees of Mystery through the gift shop), Buckhorn Cove (just about the prettiest little cove in Little River), a blue whale skeleton at Seymour Marine Center and a covered bridge in Santa Cruz, Davenport & Waddell beaches (cool layered rocks), Can't believe we get to do this again in June for FOBA! We'll explore different towns!
Here's hoping you have the opportunity to take a workshop or 2!
