Inner City

This is the last of my pages from Casablanca in both senses of the word, the last one to be made and the last page in this section of the album before we moved on to Cรกdiz the next day. 

It's a double from the old medina, the original walled city, based on this month's double sketch from Stick It Down. I had more landscape photos than portrait so I cropped some to squares and rearranged them compared to the sketch, but my paper layers are almost the same.

The photos on the left of the page are the quiet residential streets of the medina, while those on the right show the colours and bustle of the market streets.


This was one of those pages where I tried multiple selections of papers with the photographs but nothing looked quite right. The colours in the market really didn't suit the palette that I'd chosen for the album, so eventually I pulled in a couple of ancient papers from my stash for the background, though the rest of them did come from my album kit.
