Maps again!

This is the first map I made for myself to hang in my office. Manhattan NYC. Cut with 120lb Card stock and sandwiched between two cardboard spacers to give it a shadowbox appearance.

I love maps done on the GF and this is no exception! “Floating” the map really makes this one pop!

:slightly_smiling_face: Yeah me too. I don’t know may be borderline OCD, but its something about watching the precision of the streets cut out block by block.

Looks great. Did you have little bits flying around everywhere?

This was heavy cardstock so flyaways were very few and didn’t land on the uncut area. The large pieces stayed put. Most of them were small enough to drop into the crumb tray. Got lucky.

That’s a gorgeous map! I’m glad I’m not from NY, or I’d be spending too much time looking for places I “know”.
