When I was young my older brother would make me elaborate scavenger hunt maps. These maps would send us on adventures on our farm and neighborhood that would take all day long. I look back on this memory fondly of my time with my brother and bonding over these adventures. I had long forgotten this memory until I sat down a few days ago to work on an assignment for part of Orly’s class today. This spread is from that class. How many memories are locked away in my personal maps?

Another fine spread Brian. I too love maps and this spread is getting me excited about using them myself.
A wonderful creation, as always … more, what wonderful memories!! Thank you for sharing.
What a treasure of a story, Brian! I am envious as my brother is twelve years older and seemingly from a different generation. No scavenger hunts from him. It is a fantastic memory and now remembered. I love your use of maps. Jill should see this one.
I am so lucky to have found you! Your art and backgrounds (especially) are luscious. I am facinated by your layering techniques and look forward to learning from your work as I see it appear. Thanks for visiting my site as well, and for your kind words about my artsy facinations. I am having a blast sharing my passions and connecting with other artists like you. Have a FAB Sunday!
Love it…especially the overlay in white!
