Thailand is full of color and diversity. Background was masked using tape, then painted purple, then red. Red was overstamped using gold paint and punchinella. Purple used white pigment ink and a rubber stamp. Elephant is jade bead from a local bead store that is going out of business.
There were so many things to document from Thailand, that I decided to create an itinerary. I numbered and printed the itinerary on my hmp and used the printings to frame a vintage (1968) overhead transparency.
I matched up the images with the numbers from the itinerary on the previous page. Some of the numbers are stick-ons used on clock faces. Others are stickers. I also added a pewter elephant on the top right, but didn't scan it, since 3D items don't scan well on my scanner.
Ayuttwaya got its own page because the image was so large. Background is faux glassine paper I made using tissue paper, Future Floor Finish, and mica powders. I outlined the picture with Krylon Copper Leafing Pen. Embellishments included buttons, fortune cookie wrapper, tooth pick, and sea glass I stamped using black Staz-on. I made the "sea glass" using broken clear glass I tumbled in sand for about a week.
The rest of the photos from the itinerary. I purposely broke up the photos so 10 was not next to 11, etc. I wanted the reader to search for each of the images. I also added a pewter elephant on the left page, and a cocktail umbrella on the right near the other ones in the photo.
