Laos

Background is pink, brown, and gold paint. A black Sharpie was used for all journaling. Travel brochure photos and vintage transparencies were also used on the four spreads.
Slide mounts were covered with the same background as I used on the left side and the frame. Red paint was splashed with Krylon Gold Leafing Pen ink.
Not my best work with a Sharpie. I've always said I didn't like my handwriting, and this is a good reason for it. I used a Sharpie, which was too thick for the task. I have since gotten some Zig pens that would have been my pen of choice were I to do it again. On the left is an overhead transparency with Laos outlined in gold. Background was made using dark and light blue glazes applied with a credit card and gold paint applied in splashes.
The information about the Wats was from a brochure printed in lavender. I tried to match the background using several media (acrylic paint, H20, pigment ink, ink pen). Each of the images were found either on the internet or in various travel brochures. This spread took a lot of time because of dots detail, but it took even longer to find images to match the text.
