The WESTERN STATES: USA Map-Drawings

I've just finished the Western States Map-Drawings! Working my way across the USA...https://www.etsy.com/shop/turnofthecenturies?section_id=14268693
Here they are - sort of geographically hung on my wall. Each drawing features the state tree and a quintessential or common small house type found in-state, layered over the state's borders and topography, and faint highways.  You choose the location of a small red heart or house - where's special to you? Available in 8x10 Prints and Postcards.https://www.etsy.com/shop/turnofthecenturies?section_id=14268693 
They're kind of 'kitschy cabin', and definitely made with love.
Here's WASHINGTON:

I love the big trees out west!
Here's OREGON:

Choose one or two - even three - hearts or houses to mark you special spots.
Here's CALIFORNIA:

The heart and house re-appear on the postcard back with a curly 'telephone' line between them.
Here's NEVADA:

I like playing with different shades of green for each state, and for the map, tree and house.
With a pop of red.
Here's IDAHO:

These postcards are fun to send to homesick friends or as wedding save-the-dates!
(I can design the back with your event info.)
Here's UTAH:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/165606416/utah-map-postcard
The trees sometimes appear to emerge from the ground of the map.
Here's ARIZONA:

And, sometimes the houses emerge from the map's 'land'scape.
Here's NEW MEXICO:

View the state maps in my shop to learn where the houses are drawn from.
Here's MONTANA:

and...ON TO THE MIDWEST!
