I usually end up doing several composite pages when I travel...it seems to squeeze more of the experience into my journal.
|
I usually try to do one as we're leaving, at hour home airport...my fellow passengers, the tower, whatever... |

This is the view from our hotel...you can't see the pencil sketch at upper left, in this photo... |
|
This place has a nice big heat/AC unit below the window--it makes a great studio tabouret! |
|
|
As the days passed, I added Joseph at the computer (his morning habit) and the cat sleeping on someone's car in the parking lot. |
|
Another kind of composite involves doing many views of the same subject...in this case sketches of my father-in-law's rescue beagle... |
|
But you can combine anything you want! Maggie was lazing in the shade near the fence, so I sketched her and the top of the neighbor's house. (Good thing they have this nice thick masonry wall, beagles are DIGGERS. |

You can add anything you want to pages like this...business cards, notes, reminders, photos...but I always enjoy how they catch something of the days.
Kate, I love your composite pages. It's a great recommendation for travel because a lot of people might worry about having enough time to fill an entire spread as they move about on their trip.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love those beagle sketches! Roz
I love your composite pages; something I would like to do but it's too difficult but I'm trying... one day maybe ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know, it really isn't difficult...just keep adding till you run out of room. And thanks, Roz!
