    Great stuff, CM, thanks a lot for all this work. I'm sure these will come in very handy for a lot of people.

    If you really wanted to add a few more nice ones into the mix (go on, you know you want to) how about scanning a few folded but un-aged papers, purely for overlaying some nice folds onto maps that don't necessarily want all the aging. I'd love to try this myself but my scanner is about ten years old, up in my daughter's bedroom and lacking a power adaptor.

    A nice little set of folds like that would surely make me very happy. Hehe.
    Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

    Coyote> I did a mini-tutorial based on RobA's Island building technique to create "distressed edges".... so you don't have to burn real paper to do it. You could get your "usual textures" and electronically distress them...

    Excellent idea! I'm glad I thought of it!!

    This should take considerable less time than the aged versions..

    Well my scanner doesn't seem to like working with plain paper, but I did the best I could.

    The crumply textures came out much better than the straight folds. I included 2 of each, same size as the previous papers.

    And finally, the jewel in the crown for this entire thread - I'm sitting here waiting for a scan to go through, and look up, and there hanging over my desk like it's been for the last5 years is my wife's drum from her SCA days.

    So.. scanned it! I almost want to keep this one for myself

    But seriously, free to anyone for use, no strings attached.. (but it would be nice to know what my kids grow up into, heh)

    Cheers SG.

    Edit: Um, it looks like you repped me for that. Not that I didn't put an awful lot of effort into carefully downloading all these textures, but I think repping me for it might be going a little over the top....

    Oh well, I probably needed to rep you for something anyway
