Well, as you can see, I finally made that trip to the craft store and bought some heart stamps. It was like JanettMarie said - the variety of paper and stamps was tremendous. I truly believe that every artist should be given a grant of $1,000 to go and buy different things to try out. Something I never thought that I would say is 'STAMPING IS FUN'.
Also, I used the rest of that map in order to 'craft' this dress. This is a message to Sharon. THANKS A LOT SHARON - NOW I CAN'T WAIT TO GO AND BUY MORE MAPS SO THAT I CAN HAVE MORE FUN CREATING MORE ART! MY POCKETBOOK THANKS YOU!
AnYwHoo . . . This is the artist John Erickson.
I certainly would like to do larger works like these one day. I would also like to add 'surprise' elements to my art - not a pushpin sticking out of the face - but something . . .

Fantastic piece Myra! You should draw a tutu with lots of little Degas ballerinas...or maybe you could find craft paper instead and then you would have to draw them all.
loving the art, and the colour, i to would like to work bigger
Aww thanks for the thanks Myra! The maps look great in your dresses, I'm glad my thoughts inspired you, now I need to get on with using maps myself instead of just thinking about it! Take care, Sharon
INCREDIBLY beautiful and whimsical! i agree about the grant!
