Southern Africa Travel Journal--Part 2


I tried doing a little nature printing while working in Africa on this journal.  I had varying results but over all, I like having the immediacy of prints made with just an stamp pad while traveling.  It was fun (if messy!).






The large elephant photo is a tissue paper prints of a photo I took while in East Africa several years ago.  I did three or four of the tissue paper prints in this journal from photos I took on my previous trip.




Taking along a roll or two of washi tape is a great way to add collected ephemera along the way.  Besides the tape, I always have one or two glue sticks with me.
