This month, I traveled to Taos NM for a workshop on "Deepening Your Art Through Daily Practice" with Laurie Doctor. We stayed at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House for a week. What a wonderful experience combining the people, place, landscape, art, spirit, food and history. Here are pages from my travel journal.
I made a file folder journal adding Aches Text Wove paper signatures in the front and back. Before pamphlet stitching the signatures, I covered the binding end with Tyvek. I bound them together to form the book binding and covered them with a strip of fabric.
This is the first page with the left pocket and the signature.
My travel journals include a calendar-
a map-
a spread about Mabel's House-
the solarium where I stayed-
an interest where Native American Pueblo culture meets Western religion-
some of Tony Luhan's wall paintings with thanks to Amy Bogard for the ones in his room-
Mabel brought many artists to New Mexico including Georgia O'Keeffe-
the food-
the back cover-

This turned out great Paula, and I'm amazed to see how much you fit in. Good to know that adding the extra pages works so well. I always love the way you do your calendar pages.
