Layering and the Grand Bazaar

My friend Ruth and I visited Istanbul's Grand Bazaar in October and at the time I wrote loads about our experiences. However, the journalling on this page just describes the Grand Bazaar itself and the pics are a series we took in a mirror.  Made harder by the enthusiastic shop keepers trying to take a picture for us and sell us their wares at the same time.  In the end, I didn't get a good one of us, but I thought it was a good story :D

The good pictures of piles of pashminas, carpets, fezs and huge piles of other merchandise will go next to this page in a divided page protector.  As will the stories of our specific bargaining adventures.

This page came together quite simply though.  While I was watching telly, I paperclipped together a lot of odds and ends on my table and like the resulting stack.  I whacked the photos on top, and most of the page was already done!

I took the stack apart carefully, marking in pencil where each new layer would go so that I could glue it all together securely.    So I thought I'd share the process of all those layers coming together. You can see the pencil marks all get hidden as I reassembled the stack.

All that was needed was a title, a bit of journalling and the odd punched butterfly!
