Swallodonia

I have my map as far as I am going to take it for now.  I am waiting for more information before I do anything more.  Here are the steps to making my map:

I started with a 2.5 X 3 foot piece of tyvek.

I added an edge with acrylic wash.

I added a squiggly black line to the edge of the wash.

I added a gold line with a metallic marker.

I added a black and white line next to the gold line.

I dumped some ink onto the tyvek then picked up the tyvek and smooshed the ink to make an ink blot.

I did the same ink blot twice more with different colors. 

I added rivers with blue pen.

I added mountains with green pen.

I added some major spots with stickers for villages, towns and a city.

 I added some masking tape to the bottom to make the areas for the compass rose, the name, and the legend, then washed the blue waters in around the land.




The sticker areas are villages...Hatcherson is where Myo lives.

I had some lovely wrapping paper I bought at the YSM that I thought would work just right for the compass rose.  It added a bit of embellishment to the corners too.

A place for the name of the land...Swallodonia of course!

Another sticker for the largest city in the land...Featherton!

Oh, see Mount Lucifer north of Featherton?

This map was fun to make but I am ready to give it a rest. Next step:  An artist statement!
