The Distracted Artist

I am always laughing at myself because of my highly distracted nature. For those of you who have seen the movie Up, I am just like those cute dogs in the movie. You know, the ones that came to a complete halt and looked in the opposite direction every time someone said "squirrel". Yep that's me. The smallest of things can steer me off course. As is the case with this new set of coasters I'm working on. While speeding up the drying process after aging the paper, I caught myself holding the heat gun in an area for too long because I was too busy scanning the map for all the interesting names of cities and towns located throughout Florida to be worried about the possibility of FIRE. What I noticed though really was fascinating. This state is full of oddities 

Luckily, I got back on task before I scorched  any of the small map pieces but not before noting some interesting places such as Shark Point, Zolfa Springs, Medart, Venus, and even Cleveland, which is not strange for Ohio but who knew it was also located in Florida. 

Happy Creating.
