I don't always get it right....

Recently, I made a fantasy island map. I took my time, and filled it all in: lovely. I crumpled it up, as part of the ageing process: good. Then I did the next step: singing the edges. Unfortunately, in this case, the singe became a burn! It unexpectedly caught light, and ate into the body of the map, and it was quite a struggle to stop it from burning up the whole map!

Gah: what a waste of time and effort! It's eaten too deep into the paper for the map to look nice, so I can't sell it. Oh well!
