Some very strange words in my dictionary but finally, because of my love of maps, I decided on ORIENTATE.
I found a map of Italy from about 15 years ago, so probably out of date..I painted it with my favourite Quin. Azo Gold.and then set about making the compass. I used a stencil/mask of a compass and fussy cut it out of black card. Added a layer of Fresco paint and some Treasure gold and some very ancient peel offs. I abandoned the idea of making it turn, summer laziness.

Brilliant idea to use the map and a great word you have chosen
Love Chrissie x
Love this. The background map and color are both wonderful and the black compass is the perfect, strong contrast.
Hi Pat, great word choice! Love your page! Hugs Frea
striking page :)
I'd love to read about what you've been up to too...
Very cool page. I'm glad the summer laziness caught up with you - all that fussy cutting of the compass was surely enough - when to find time for a nice glass of wine otherwise.
Great choice of word and interpretation!
Thanks for playing with us at the Craft Barn
