For one of my October ATC swaps, I chose @thanate’s theme of “a map of something that is not a place.”
I decided to create a map of a lettuce crafter’s brain:
and the back:
I drew the brain onto a piece of patterned paper, cut it out, and glued it onto the ATC background, which I had previously painted with acrylic. Then I added the “regions” of the brain map with alcohol marker and ink pen, relating real regions of the brain to how they “translate” into how a crafter thinks.
Thanks for looking 
How clever! And artistic, too— love how colorful it is. Great ATC!
Nice! Well mapped onto the actual function of those brain areas! 
I think you nailed it, especially the part about “plans for the next several years”.
Thank you everyone for the kind words
I’m so grateful to have found a group to exchange ATCs with! I just love making them.
This is so cool!!
What a great interpretation of the prompt! I like your choice of paper for the brain. It stands out against the background nicely and has a very ‘creative’ feel with the multi color painted look.
I have to comment again, to say that this one also just brings joy to the neuroscience-background nerd in me. I love how you made sure that the craft functions aligned with the actual brain functions. Chef’s kiss!
Thank you so much for the beautifully kind words, everyone.
I’m really struggling today.
Knowing that my art has brought joy to others is really helpful in reminding me I can have a positive impact despite the lies my brain likes to tell me
I interpreted the “vison” portion very liberally lol
Thank you for saying that; it made me smile on a hard day
Brilliant idea and nicely executed! Fun, colorful and educational all at the same time! This is a great addition to an ATC collection!
The next several years bit is my favorite part…, OMGosh SOOOOOO true! 
Right???
