In this spread , second page of my book, which unfortunately didn't photograph well, I used two different borders, the bottom one across the bottoms of the pages shows elephants in motion the big elephant in bottom left is a cut out from a travel magazine is most gorgeously dressed for a parade, a small px pf my husbands and i is also included on the left, the right page has few items from passport etc, I hoped to convey our beginning of the pilgrimage to the sacred Sites of India.

Tis is my favorite packet spread., the background is made with alchool inks on wax paper
the green pockets are made with indian glossy paper and the two center pockets are done ,again in a lovely Indian paper with crewel flowery design. tags will have tassels that I am working on.

In this next spreads I made packets on the right side, the tags have Buddhist Sayings,
On the left side of the page the background is very rich as yet not finished but I just love the way it came out. the trouble is I can't remember how I did it!

Pockets

There are three spreads with POCKETS,
in this first photo, I folded the pages,and put the round wheel
with Buddhist symbols, It actually turn. ( The turning of the wheel is very symbolic in our tradition.)
