Around all the worlds

Posted on October 15, 2006 by Trystan

I finished my outfit today (whew!), and I’ve made some, IMNSHO, kickass party favours. Just gotta print and assemble all today. I also hope to finish one or more photo albums of our travels. I’m encouraging everyone attending to bring their own travel photos, scrapbooks, or memorabilia to share! It’s going to be an afternoon of all kinds of travel talk, real and imaginary.

I had loads of fun making these! I scanned my own passport for the London Heathrow, Egypt Cairo, Australia, New Zealand, and faux East Germany stamps. I found the Liechtenstein stamp, Titanic font with logos, and Orient Express crest, and Stargate: Atlantis symbol, Star Wars Rebel and Imperial logos, Star Trek Federation HQ in San Francisco logo, and Sauron’s eye art from the Web. I scanned the Moria door, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy logo, and Earthsea symbol from my own books. The Chinese stamp is a rubber stamp that I scanned. Then I added appropriate immigration and visa type text to each one.

The passport is just one half-sheet of cardstock folded over, so each one has two pages of visas inside. I designed four variations of the visas so people would get slightly different versions.
