Westlands Wheel of Time hand drawn map

Description

Made to order Westlands map, inspired by the book series “Wheel of Time” by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

I designed this map to resemble and give the vibe of old Asian, Japanese drawings and maps, which corresponds with the Eastern flavor of the world created by the writers.

Sizes available (circa, final size may vary a bit):

“HUGE” A0 circa 120/80cm, 33 in x 46.81 in,
“LARGE” A1 circa 80/60cm, 23.39 in x 33 in,
“BIG” A2 circa 60/40cm, 16.54 in x 23.36 in ,
“MEDIUM” A3, circa 40/30cm, 11.69 in x 16.54 in

Most people that see my maps think they’re drawn on hide or parchment so I can conclude the effect is fully satisfying 😉

Please, take note these are exemplary photos. As my maps are fully handmade items, I am not able to make two identical maps. Hence the finished product may vary from the one shown in the example, but I can send you pictures of your own item when it’s under creation or finished.

Please, remember: I need about 8-12 weeks to create a map (and it takes about 1-2 weeks for the travel).

The maps are hand drawn, with ink and quills, on paper. The paper is dyed and impregnated to look like an old parchment. The maps are plastered to a fabric and the edges are secured with handmade stitches. The maps are firm when you take them to your hand. I process the maps to look old and (if you wish) worn thus the surface and coloring are uneven.

The procedures and techniques I use make the map strong and usable, despite the fragile, old and worn look. You can put it on a wall, but you can also roll it and take it with you to play, to show, to use. No worries.

The ink is waterproof – if a drop of liquid drops on the map, you can just gently wipe it dry. Big amount of liquid may loosen the glue and cause the paper to wrinkle, but still – you can just press the place with a weight (i. e. books) and wait till it dries. The wrinkles will stay and the stain will be visible, but the map will still be usable – just looking more worn 😉

Don’t hesitate to ask any questions or for more photos of the maps 🙂

Please, note, there may be slight differences in color between the product and the photos.
