    Map A Vision of Greece

    A little one hand drawn on a 21,5x21,5 cm paper sheet for my mother in law who loves Greece. I'm pretty found of the compass here. Also, it's my first real world map.

    The map is gorgeous, Thomas ! I share your love for the compass, and especially about how you used the pattern of the border for the compass shadows : brilliant !

    Excellent ! The compass, parchment & frame are clearly a success.

    And not the last, if I had to bet.

    Great work on this. I love the torn parchment effect. It works beautifully.

    That's a beautiful map! I love the compass, which somehow looks like carved out of stone and I really like the simplicity of the mountains.

    I agree with everyone else, a lovely map. The Rose and Border have a very "damascus steel" feel to them. Can we expect a colour version?

    Great job - love it.

    And it never hurts to build up credit with the mother-in-law.

    Great work, Thomas! The way that the border and compass use the same pattern is a great idea. I bet your mother in law is very happy!
