article: Week 4: Home | written down

I’ve been having a hard time conceptualizing home for this challenge, and today after seeing pages posted by Dona Bumgarner and Kristin Harris, I realized that I was really expecting too much of the word “home.” Home for me isn’t a place or a house, it is more of a feeling. So, I stopped over-thinking the issue and just went with what I felt. And, Kristin’s piece challenged me to use black in my pages as a background as well and I like the end result.

I used images of the four places that I’ve lived that have had the most impact on me and my life: Salisbury (NC), Miami, Kingston, and Atlanta (where I live now). The paints are acrylics in black, purple, blue, and a lime green, and of course my zig writer pen.

Thanks for the inspiration ladies, and thanks to everyone else for looking!
