Vietnam

Vietnam was a problem for me, because I remember the war there. Now it's all commercial and the travel brochures assure us that travel is safe and tourism is flourishing. This first page tells a bit about Vietnam. I used travel brochure information and part of an overhead transparency
Sites to see in Hanoi, along with a slide mount and a Hanoi citizen. The background is silver glaze and the journaling is a green hilighter.
Pictures of and along Halong Bay, also in the north. I used some of my mismatched stickers and letters printed on my handmade paper.
The old transparencies (copyrighted 1968) had Vietnam split into the north and south. I was able to use part of a transparency for Danang and the Mekong Delta in central Vietnam. On the left, I added some punchinella (sequin waste) and fibers. The background was made using bottled yellow acrylic paint mixed with light bodied gesso.

These are images of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and other areas in the south. The background is yellow acrylic paint mixed with light bodied gesso.
