Back this afternoon from the wonderful weekend retreat near Skipton, Yorkshire.  The weather meant we had to spend an extra night there!  Terrible!  The theme was 'Altered Books'.  Something completely new to me, but what a refreshingly challenging task.

My first effort was a very surprising project, an Alpine garden.  The centre of the book, once removed, was lined with acetate and planted up with gritty soil and alpine plants.  The other page was decorated with some of the removed pages.
