Last week The Literary Arts held their annual fundraiser at the Portland Art Museum. A silent auction took place in the Sunken Ballroom and dinner for nearly 400 guests was in the Kridel Ballroom.

Combining the feel of the beautiful Northwest with Literary Arts was an interesting project but I thoroughly enjoyed it! As I could not find small books to my liking I crafted some to incorporate in the larger pieces.

The inspiration to make the tree came from a great project that Belgian designer Sébastien Dossin (@sebastien_artisanfleuriste) made at the famous Belgian flower show Fleuramour last September.

Many thanks to Gwen Severson (@botanicallyinspired) for the beautiful pictures and @grovfor for all the fabulous bark!
