A final look around Argentina before we move on

This is a scheduled post because I am helping my friend Sally get rid of much of the mess that is still in her garage.  So far we have taken three FULL loads of "stuff" to the thrift store, and we will be working on the fourth while you are reading this.  I'll be by later tonight to catch up on your art and day.

Granted, I will probably never finish this altered book, so it's a good thing I have taken it apart and punched holes or chose used file folders for the substrate so I can place the completed pages in a 3 hole binder.  But let's take one final look around Argentina in my 7 Continents altered book before we move on to other parts of the world.

I started with a background of an entire page showing Tierra del Fuego National Park.

I matted and sewed the picture taken from a travel magazine onto the page.  I was lucky that I found two very different photos of Ushuaia.  This just shows the range of temperatures that are possible in this southernmost city in the world.

I had lots of trouble with the thread I used.  It was good thread, too, but I changed thread three times while making this one very simple page.

I found another photo of the widest street in the world and knew I had to include it during our final look around.

Then of course, there was the beauty of the National Park which sits inside Tierra del Fuego, which is actually an archipelago across the Strait of Magellan.  There are many islands in this archipelago which is divided between Chile and Argentina.  We will revisit Tierra del Fuego when we travel to Chile at some future time.

One final look and we are ready to leave Argentina.

Materials used include thread, images from various travel magazines, and textured heavy scrapbook paper on a used file folder substrate (after I gave up gluing several Physician's Desk Reference pages together each time I wanted to create a new spread).

Thanks for sharing this altered book journey with me.  I'm always thrilled to have you drop by.
