Travel journal stage 2- collaged background pages

Here's a sneak peek to some of the pages from my travel journal,

all set for more collage and writing

during the trip....

picked up some old laces.....


It's a mixed media travel journal, with cloth, paper and paints etc...

and some old chinese text papers.... 

I handpainted my own papers...



more handpainted papers..

a little rubber stamping here and there.....

and a little sewing..

and together with my art journaling pack,

Contents: Water soluble color pencils, charcoal pencil, white uniball signio pen, 
Zig millenium pens size 02 and 005
couple of water brushes and a glue stick


I'm all set to travel next Thursday...

So, have a happy week to you..
