Hello Cartographers Guild,

I have long enjoyed maps from the fantasy novels I've read and the games I have played. I have made a couple of burnt edge things with Cub Scouts as a leader and for my Local D&d group but I have recently wanted to try something new and more professional. After a google search I came across the Guild and decided this would be the place to find all the information and support I need.

I want to make my partner a map for Christmas, we both love to travel and she's very art and crafts orientated so I thought this an ideal gift (not at all that she asked for it, no doubt to get me back into crafts) , I would like it to either be something of a fantasy map portraying a world in which we could explore or a map of somewhere we have traveled together like Bamford or Edinburgh or even somewhere we would like to travel to.

Any advice on where to start, other than making my mind up, would be great.

Thank you for the warm welcome

Ben McHale
