I decided on a "tag book" from the start...
...as it IS a holiday and luggage labels seem like suitable things to carry holiday memories.
I have to take most of the bits and pieces with me, but I'm hoping to pick up things like local newspapers, paper bags, wrappers, till receipts, postage stamps, low-value paper money etc on excursions.
These bits'n'bobs can then also be used to ground the memories as it were.
Obviously, luggage tags are only relatively small...
...therefore nothing TOO ambitious can be planned (and to be done in a couple of hours as well!)
So, I've gone for colour combos for the Philippines part of the trip...
...collaged, printed and stitched...
...using hand-dyed and prepared papers and batik fabrics.
Here are 1 and 2...
...blue skies, turquoise seas, shining sandy beaches...
The squiggly writing on the first one is a pre-Hispanic filipino script that I found on the net...
...I thought it would help to "place" things a bit...
3 & 4 to follow soon...
