Dear Joanne, I am sending you my boat from Melbourne in Australia. It set sail in my rocky creek in my garden.
This is what Barb has written in the tiny book:
Having participated in a workshop with Amanda Degner, I had some indigo dyed Belgian Flax paper to hand, so it was perfect for a ship taking a long sea voyage. Being a book artist, I also had to include a cargo of books. Some of these have blank pages for the new owner to write in.
I am a member of Papermakers of Victoria and IAPMA and have just experienced my first IAPMA congress at Burnie in Tasmania.

This is what Barb has written in the tiny book:This boat is made with paper I made from Belgian flax in a workshop with Amanda Degener. The blue is indigo dye. The paper is strong and could withstand the stitching. I have waxed the paper but I don’t think it could withstand a long sea voyage. I love making books so my boat needed to carry my small books. I like the thought that the voyage of th eWestland passed by Australia on the final stages of her journey. Barb Adams Australia 100% handmade.
