my neighbourhood

Well, not my neighbourhood, but those of two little boys who received these play mats for Christmas.  I had the drawings printed up (by Spoonflower, of course) on square yards of heavy cotton twill and then I backed and bound them.  I have to admit that these custom mats weren’t my idea.  I met the boys’ grandmother while selling at a market last summer, and she was inspired by my aerial view of a (fictional) neighbourhood.  Doodle doesn’t play with cars too much any more, but got out his favourites to drive around on these while I took some photos.  Now he wants me to make one featuring our neighbourhood.  Add it to the list, Dood.  Add it to the list.
