maps :3

To go along with my piratey themed gift of a treasure box, I used the idea given to me to make a treasure map. I wasn't going to at first (due to anger :X) but after yesterday, out of the blue, he said that he had always wanted a treaure map


It was the first time I had ever tea stained and burned anything to make it aged, and I am super proud of it <3

I actually made two maps, one of which has my whole yard painted onto it in brown watercolor with one red x, and the other i put all the other x's on and tore up into pieces, attaching one of the pieces to each small gift, leading him around my yard, and back to my house

EDIT: The paper was handmade and had bits of dried grasses or somekind of plant in it, making it look really dirty, but its not @_@
