The capital of Slovenia is Ljubljana, a city next to the river on which Jason and his Argonauts are said to have sailed with the Golden Fleece. Hence my postcard. The picture is a bookplate from a version of the story by Graves which I played with in Craft Artist, then printed and gilded. My book page shows the flag and some of the varied scenery to be found in Slovenia.

Super postcard and a fantastic bit of research. That Jason got about a bit! Roland Poland had never heard of the golden fleas! Super travel page.

Wow! Didn't know that about Jason and the argonauts...and that image is totally gorgeous! :D XXX
ReplyDeleteWoW, can not be said enough! Super card, <3
ReplyDeletehow did ya do it, background??
Can not take credit for the picture as that is the bookplate but used a mask behind it in CA and blended the edges. Merged both of those with a gold and black background paper. Printed then used a glue pen to highlight the bits i wanted and added gilding flakes. Did the same round the edges. Is that cheating?
