Buy beautiful, personalized map gifts and décor
We all like to be unique and it is fun to show off our hometown. Bob is quite proud he and the girls were born in Austin, Texas. As the only Yankee of the family (unless you count our cat, Bella), I have been dubbed an honorary Texan by proxy – but it isn’t the same, is it? Ha. As a lover of maps, I was searching for clothing that represented Brie’s place of birth and ran across an Etsy store called Mapisart. The designer, Trip Wolfskehl, makes map art on all sorts of items including onesies. BUT – that’s not all! Trip’s Rhode Island business is growing and his mapisart.com website is launching a customized online map tool for making your own unique mapping designs including onesies on April 15!
Mapisart, whose company has a self-proclaimed ‘passion for place’, works with OpenStreetMap an online crowd-sourced collaborative mapping tool so that anyone who uses this tool can make their own unique and accurate map. Wow. The watercolor look of the maps on Mapsiart are designed and created by Stamen Design so this is a truly unique and beautiful map just for you by artisans around the world. So – how do you get started?

- Adjust your map. Use the online mapping tool at mapisart.com to find your location on the map. Zoom in or zoom out…you can even have street names appear on your finished product! Use the cropping tool until it is perfect for your design.
