Pirate Map

When kid, I used to make my own pirate maps painting a paper with brown shoe polish and burning the edges, but they always ended turn apart, so I make my cousin a durable one made of a piece of khaki fabric  I found.

First, draw the map on paper, i traced Costa Rica from a real map to include it. I came with the idea of make the islands look like an ouroboros, the dragon that bites his tail. And after ending the map, trace it on the fabric.

Shade a little the land with an old pilot so it won't stand out a lot and delineate it with a green pilot.

Then draw some sea creatures, ships and a wind rose.

Now paint the map with the shoe polish. After that, I splashed it a little with some brown ink I had to make it look dirtier.

Carefully burn the edges of the map and maybe some holes to make it more real.

To make it cooler, put tubes on the sides of the map.
I glued a brochette stick to the map so the tube won't come off.

Decorate the tubes and put a string to tie up the map.
