Mixed Media Monday: Incredible India

May 13, 2008 · 21 Comments

Mixed Media Monday’s theme is “transparencies”.

I used an arch transparency as a window in my India altered book. It took a bit of fiddling to get the pages cut and the transparency sized and inserted. It’s fun turning the page to reveal the ladies in saris gazing at the Taj Mahal!

On the second page I clipped a travel ad (added to the top) that says: “A monument of love built by an inconsolable emperor, Shah Jehan, in memory of his wife Mumtaz, the Taj Mahal is perhaps best experienced in moonlight. Arguably the world’s most photographed monument, the Taj is one of India’s twenty-six World Heritage Sites. Do visit with a loved one.”
