In my art journaling workshop for seniors we make a map, and often choose to map our own hands. I made this map several weeks ago on white 12×12 scrapbook paper and included junk mail cut outs, drawing, watercolors and random journaling for that day. The frame around the earth image was rubbed with crayon. I find maps relaxing and fun to do and try to map something several times a month. Personal Geographies, the new mixed media book by Jill K. Berry is quite an inspiration to those who love maps or want to experience making their own. Check it out!
