Quietfire 2006 RetreatWestcoast WhisperingsFriday evening, Saturday and Sunday, July 21-23, 2006
Thanks to everyone who came out to the 2006 Quietfire Retreat! Here are a selection of photos from the weekend. Boy, it was hot! In spite of the heat, the artwork was spectacular! It was just amazing to see things go together to make very unique books and boxes. Click on each photo to see it larger!
The Happy Retreaters! Due to the extreme heat over the weekend of the Retreat, we didn't do the beach and forest walks to collect treasures! My husband and I had done a forest walk the night before battling bugs to collect up branches for the box handles and Leslie, my assistant collected up beach goodies on a trip to Parksville. The massages were replaced with pedicures and the spa night with a BBQ at our place. Thanks to all the participants for being such delightful guests!
A huge thank you to the following people and businesses for contributing to the Goody Bags!Anne Atkinson, Saanich BC : folded
