Every inchie Monday 

This week we go to a country that I have visited! Turkey 


The splendours of topkapi palace and its harem in Istanbul as well as the Galata bridge, hajia sofia, blue mosque & immense covered bazaar were visited back in '77 when we drove out to the Middle East- fabulous! Also cappadocia and it's early Christian rock churches & underground cities, the crusader castles and indeed the wonderful Kilim woven carpets....it's a fascinating place full of weird & wonderful that I had the pleasure of seeing before it became a trendy place to go.... pamukale hot springs was the only place I didn't get to see.


My first image is the rock chimneys of cappadocia then the flag & map.

  4. Fabulous pages Sally, I really like the Picasso quote you used.
    Your inchies look great as well, such a small area to work on but you have super results.

  7. Turkey has always seemed to me to be a very exotic place, so incredibly different to my own little environment and experiences...how marvellous that you have been able to see and explore it. I always wanted to travel as a young person. Now I simply could not bear to be a "tourist" amongst a crowd of others viewing designated things within a designated time frame...so I stay home and read. Love your artwork and quotes, you have been busy. Dx
