Oh, Artfest...

I had planned on posting about Artfest sooner, but I came home to a sick lovey...

Awwwww....

And then I got sick myself from some bug I brought home.  (No picture of me, sorry.  I'm not even remotely cute when I'm sick.)

I woke up at 3:15 AM feeling pretty miserable (did I mention that I'm whiny too when I'm sick?), so I thought I'd post the photos from Artfest instead of just being annoyed that I'm not sound asleep.

Workshop teachers introducing themselves

First day - journaling class with Erin Faith Allen and my table buddy Morganne

One of my journal pages - sideways for some reason

Another of my journal pages (I didn't draw the girl, I only wish that I did).  I think I'll work on this one some more and maybe even draw the girl with all the hair this time.

We snuck away at lunch time to see the sound and to collect sea glass (when you collect it from the sound is it sound glass?)

Day 2 - Stephanie Lee's Plaster Sampler class

One of my plaster and wax pieces

Day 3 - Andrea Matus's Suspended Souls class.  Didn't finish this one yet.  This is just a piece of it.  Not sure what's going to happen with it.

Did I mention that I DID finish my trades (at the hotel pre-Artfest)?

I was pretty happy to see this huge bed at my Seattle hotel.

And this dessert.

Showered and feeling more like myself again.

And the mountain came out to see me!  Seriously, when I was driving to the airport, the sight of Mt. Rainier made me a little weepy.  It always seems to come out on the last day of my trips.

I'm realizing now that I should have taken more photos - of my friends Lea and Dave and their adorable boys, of my amazing Artfest housemates Lisa, Lori and Kari, Fort Warden, of my Artfest friends, and so on... There are rumblings of another Port Townsend/Fort Warden art retreat in the works though, so next time!
