Comments: I cut my design from cork. I cut 28 pieces to make a puzzle print. I used non slip grid for the largest piece, real crushed oyster shells, shrimp shells, sand paper, pieces of nylon rope and corduroy. I mounted the largest piece onto a piece of mat board 8x13 inches and puzzled the other pieces to it. There are six textures, six colors and 28 pieces. It took 45 minutes to an hour to ink each piece and put together the puzzle and run a print. This is not a land map, it is a water map of the bay I live by, Willapa Bay.
