Made by me.

Made by me. This is a 16th century map of Florida (where I'm from) burned into a sheet of leather. The pixelated portion is a message to my brother and his family to whom this is a gift. It's not finished yet. I have to "tan" the edges to give it a "used" look and then the leather finish to, we'll, finish it.

Ooooh! Now I see!! Way cool Dude! You needed to convert the image to something you can trace on the leather.
Nice!

Curtis Edenfield exactly. And that's why I was looking for an easier/more efficient way to convert from a colored image to a black and white one for this.

So, I finally have a finished product. This is not it, but I "tanned" the edges to make it look like a map that might have been handled over the years. It's something I tried for the first time so has some issues I don't particularly care for, but that only adds to its uniqueness.

The private message to my brother is pixelated in the Gulf of Mexicohttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Pv8sL9JBRFfSEqH0DyMaj_tw8WtdYZDMFZxkecCcf2in6eOyzFOvnR7xkZDTx5yQLP0Q8zWzP6I

And here is the final product. Hopefully it looks like an old "pirate" map, or at least vintage enough.

Also, brother's name is pixelated out.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ywwDwfiFPWsf5DXUAde3bfpyieJ_Z50Q2lW1c_tJdJHk6HiB3sQp9RD1BvPnM4pvXUZ_COmWK1M

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
