Indochina

The countries known as Indochina are (from left top) Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia. I cut words and a map from a travel brochure and glued them over a lightly gessoed page.
This is one of my favorite spreads. I used information from the five countries and turned them into the flowers. I painted the background red and yellow, then added the "flowers" that were matted on patterned paper. Next I drew the stems and leaves using ink pens. Although it doesn't really show, I cut out the word "Indochina" and slipped it into a red transparent file folder divider and stapled it to the top of the page.
