GLI ETRUSCHI MITO E REALTÁ.

These are a few more scans from another book I found during my research gathering. I've really been trying to find lots of landscape imagery and I think I've found some good ones to work with, these included. I like how they are all in black and white since they'll be easy to layer over my work but it might be nice to add some colour to them on Photoshop and see how that works out. 

L'IMPERO DEGLI INCAS.

Keeping with the theme of scanning old books in, I came across another lovely one from my grandmothers collection. The book is all about the ancient Incas and Mayans and speaks a lot of their study of the sky and constellations. It has some great photos inside of landscapes in Mexico and Peru so I thought they would be great to scan in and again apply them to my collages. 

L'ASTROLOGIA CINESE.

These are a few scans from a Chinese Astrology book that belonged to my grandmother. She was always fascinated with constellations and star signs so I have lot's of old books that belonged to her which are all so brilliant! This one in particular has lots of lovely drawings inside, along with diagrams etc so I thought it would be nice to scan a few of these in and see if I could include some of the images within my own work. I think a mixture of old imagery/pages would work really nicely with the more modern, clean star signs I've been making.
