Today I'm joining Chris at Pear Shaped Crafting again, our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme We're all/going.
Today I'm featuring the back side of yesterday's trip to Cuba.
No trip to Cuba would be complete
without visiting the capital, Havana.
This shows the entire island and some of the surrounding islands, too.
Cienfuegos 
is most famous for its architecture and its waterfalls.
It is famous for its Neo-classical architecture, which is filled with arches.
One should not miss Santiago de Cuba.
It is the second largest city on the island. It is also considered the cultural capital of the island. This gorgeous cathedral sits in the center of a park in downtown Santiago de Cuba.
As mentioned previously, this is the reverse of the used file folder from yesterday's art. I began by spritzing the substrate with handmade shimmering mists. When the mists were dry, I cut images from various travel brochures. I copied (from the internet) a map of Cuba and printed it on my laser printer. I then needed a way to distinguish all these images, so drew lines between the cities and the images they represented.Thanks for your visit today and your support of my art. It means the world to me. I hope you will also join me at Art Journal Journey with your own We're all/going journal art.

Good morning Elizabeth. Another lovely page about Cuba, must be an interesting pace to visit. Hope the kids all got home safely. Have a nice day, Valerie
An interesting beautifully collaged art journal page.
Enjoy the day 😘
Another lovely travel journal page Elizabeth. Great idea to put the map in the center, and point to all of the locations in the images. The architecture is fantastic, and that waterfall is beautiful.
Both posts make a very, very nice presentation of Cuba!
The color and the architecture so different and beautiful from my little corner of the world.
Great page Elizabeth, I love the images and inky background.

You put so much fabulous information on your post I feel like I have travelled to Cuba with you.xx
Your posts have made me think maybe I need to go to Cuba sooner rather than later. Of course you now need a tour, and fitting those in don't always work and can be pricer than I want. But back on track, I really like these spread and the splatters. Very interesting photos too. Hope you are enjoying a little quiet and its not too quiet since your guests have left. Hugs-Erika

Happy Day!

You make me want to go :) Such a colorful place!
Beautiful.
Nice trip, Elizabeth, somewhere I will never go, so extra interesting.
The architecture is so different from here. I expect the climate is too.
Now I'll have a look at the first trip.
Those pictures certainly capture the beauty of the island. It looks so exotic.
AND...the map is purrfect.
I think of the stacks of postcards my M-in-law left us when she died. Stacks. I use them for tags on gifts. But I look at what you have made and I love what you do.
You got the touch!
I loved going to colourful Cuba again! Thank you so much Elizabeth! Hugs, Chrisxx
… and another lovely page about Cuba.

All the best Jan

This is fabulous, Elizabeth. I've never been to Cuba but my (more adventurous) son has. So I especially enjoyed this armchair travel with you. Eileen xx
