Concept: A vintage-style world map printed on undyed linen/cotton blend, deliberately wrinkled & stretched as if stitched under tension with thick, visible cream embroidery thread. Key areas are distorted based on your specifications: ✨ Key Features: San Francisco (Giant) Stretched to 3x its normal size with visible radial stitching pulling it outward. Fabric appears thin & strained around the Bay Area, almost translucent. Ticino, Switzerland 2x enlarged, with topographic details (Alps) slightly warped. Edges secured by crisscrossing threads in a "X" shape. Boston 1.5x size, stretched upward like fabric caught on a hook. Frayed edges near Cape Cod. La Ventana, Mexico Subtle bulge (~1.3x) with loose threads dangling toward the Sea of Cortez. Connecticut Slightly elongated (1.2x), as if tugged from both ends. Rishikesh, India Minimally enlarged (1.1x), but marked with a gold-thread OM symbol embroidered over it. ❌ "Wrinkled Into Nonexistence": Russia, China, Canada: Crushed into tight, chaotic pleats with thick stitching. Labels barely legible beneath folds (e.g., "Mosc..." cut off). Canada’s west coast tucked under itself. 🧵 Additional Texturing: Frayed edges along coastlines. Dye variations mimicking water stains near distorted areas. Hand-stitched latitude/longitude lines (uneven, as if drawn with a quilting ruler). 🎨 Color Palette: Fabric: Natural linen (beige-gray). Ink: Faded sepia for land, soft blue for water. Thread: Unbleached cotton + 1-2 gold strands near See more
