Map #1
I refilled some markers yesterday and made a mess. I cleaned it up with a napkin. Just as back in 2012-2013 when I did my ‘Bodyless Ghirl Ghosts’ series using napkins I tested my markers on, I thought this time I would makes something of the mess. The result is map #1 of ‘The Napkin Islands’.
This overview map has the big islands, seas, oceans and some other elements named. When I focus in on one area I will start naming the smaller passages and water features.
Where is your island? What’s it’s name?

And this is what it looked like a little while later.
Are you wondering where all the volcanos came from in the final image? Like I mentioned, I refilled a number of markers. When I uncapped the red one to use it this morning it was so wet and full that it splattered all over the napkin. I just kept going and made volcanos!
