The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of other things


And now, in honor of my FIFTH sale to someone I've never met before, I present a view into the MAPS part of my life. I love what I do. And yes, I realize this makes me a HUGE geek and I'm totally okay with that. And yes, I made the map myself using ESRI's GIS software and basmaps. I chose the projection (there's a lot of different ways to display a world view map, even a partial world view) and selected the cities I've shipped my handmade creations, and even though purple is definitely not high on the list of acceptable colors in professional cartography, I took the liberty of making the title block my favorite color. :) I also added a star for my hometown, since I've sold at Midtown Bazaar a few times and even got a commission for a hat that I mailed in town. When I have 5 more sales to add to this and post the updated version.
