The Making of the Treasure Map - Dixiesilverniner’s The Adventures of Captain K
Whist decorating the sails of the Dragon Fire with lights and all manner of merriment @agscotskiwi asked, ”What do we do to Celebrate Christmas on the Dragon Fire?” ,her Celtic burr still distinct after these years at sea.
“Tis the season to keep good company I say.” @slacker-stacker looks over his shoulder taking the Arch Mage aside and whispers, “Me thinks of a fitting gift for thee Captain.”
“Aye, something Magical!” waving her hands in the air as some bright glitter descended from her hands before fading. “But No snow!”
“Shall we throw the Captain into the drink and holler, “Merry Christmas Captain!” Shant it be. He deserves much better but we need more firepower to hatch our nefarious plan.”
Key Wee’s eyes lit up, “I know, a new Treasure Chest? Naw he’s got a bunch.”
“Gold and Silver? Not interested he’s in it for the Adventure.” Replied Slak-Tor “A pretty Rum serving Wench? Not going there yet maybe after ‘es 21, till at least at proper drinkin’ age."
"I see a Log book to record all his adventures for all to read!" Mulled Slak-Tor
"Filled wit fancy writtin' and embellishments and illuminations, I've read a book or two."
“Lady Ravenhill I believe is deft with quill and ink as is taking on an entire Company of enemy Infantry herself.”
"Aye, but we must hither the Captain nor his senior staff must not get wind of this. We must ask her what can be possible by Christmas."
The room was spartan with a drawing table with a few books and a few scented candles, her swords hung on the bulkhead next to a shelf with several books and a tea service.
Lady Ravenhill climbed out of her hammock, "Twas reading some Hamlet, of what pleasure bring ye to my company?"
Slak-Tor opened his mouth as to say something but looked over to Key Wee.
Lady Ravenhill shifted her stance on to her other foot, "Oh come now, what favor do ye seek?"
She looked upward as if she sought some heavenly guidance, "For a book I need an entire cohort of monks to produce the many stories so far. And we have a slight writing Paper shortage."
"Then a Map it must be." said Slak-Tor.
Lady Ravenhill's eyes brightened, "A worthy cause, and fine Treasure Map it shall be."

WOW... so much go into it! I admire your patience, your skill and talent, Sis, @kerrislravenhill!!!
Whew, this certainly took the lion's share of my free time of November and into the first week of December. After consulting with my fellow mutineers @agscotskiwi and @slacker-stacker this project was green lighted back in early September. I had to make sure to finish my Ninja Star video project. I was quite excited to do it, so excited so I gave you a little sneak peak. As a bonus feature, I have also a digital version of this Treasure map as a 4 Meg PDF , so I can email you a copy. Size 30" x 21". Available for all members of the cast, staff, crew, to print out and enjoy. And to cover my bases an editable Tiff version of the map. A very Merry Christmas my Queen Savior.

Wow your treasure map is awesome! All the effort that you put on to make such a handsome looking map certainly pays off in the end, the drawings are well done and the yellowing effect is great :D.
Congrats for your curie vote ^_^.
Thank you, It's for the love and enjoyment of our Pirate universe.

@kerrislravenhill You have done such a Fantastic Piece of Work Here and #PirateSunday is Very Appreciative of These Efforts..........
Much obliged Governor @stokjockey, just doing my part to send word to the YouTube Silver community that there is a vibrant and fun Silver Stacking community here on the Steemit platform. We Pirates are all in this together!

Thank you @tipu and @stokjockey!
A broadside salute to ye!
That's awesome!
Although when I looked up "tea bagging" I saw a whole different process entirely 😲
Orange pekoe tones the paper quite nice.
I was nippping my orange juice when I saw this amazing piece of creativity. Resteemed and some upvote buying follows. You planned this really well! Great idea and good skills.
Thanks for the Resteem. Timing was crucial, I had to wait for @dixiesilverminer's son to open his gift before I published the video and posting this blog for maximum surprise impact. As you have noticed I've aimed this video to the YouTube silver community and let them know that there is a just as vibrant community here as well.
Whatca map! The story behind the making of the map itself is really intriguing @kerrislravenhill, the adventure must be more awesome! Luv the way the conversation you add in here, I enjoy reading your post and congrats for curie picking too... wish you continued success!
Anyway, is this for a story book or an animation film? Can I guess which of the gnome is Sal? I think it is on the right😊
Hi and thank you. The adventures are a collaboration of various writers working within a framework of Pirate adventures, treasure, action around a young boy Captain. Many of the #steemsilvergold Community members take imaginary roles in the stories. I have written a few episodes as a ghost writer but I plan on working an entire arc in the New Year after I finish the latest Pirate Queen Ching Shih episodes.. The stories are all under the #piratesunday tab each Sunday. There is potential as a Story book.
Whoaaa... that's really interesting! Hope that you'll sell it in steem if the book is ready to fully published later.
It will likely have to be a collaborative effort on all the contributing Writers for Captain K tales, as for the Chronicles of the Bloody Raven could be charting a different course. But for now its for the fun.
