Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.

Okay, the baby is with his grandparents and I've been painting.

Julie emailed me about creating a piece in her house for her family's foreign exchange students.

They've had several students from different countries and she wanted something colorful to put in their room.

She chose the quote "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart."
which is one of my favorites.
I thought of collaging the worldinthe center made out of maps.

She had the idea of including a flag from each of the countries that her exchange students were from,

One of her sons is adopted from Kazahkstan, so we included that flag too.
I started with the idea, and just kept adding layers of paper and paint and maps, until I finally felt like I was finished.

Thank you Julie!
