World Map Subway Art
I finished painting our World Map Subway Art. Madison LOVES it!
She created a document with all the countries in all the fonts in the places she wanted them. Then, as with the World Map, we used the projector and traced them onto the wall.
Then I PAINSTAKINGLY hand painted them all.
I had to lay on the floor and climb a ladder. I spilled paint on my new floors three times…but got it done!
***Before anyone lets their OCD tendencies drive them nutty over the countries not being over their proper location — please realize that we were NOT trying to create a geographically correct map. 🙂
We wanted to create visually interesting subway art with all the places Madison wants to visit…and there’s a world map in the background.
This was Madison’s vision.
She found the world map she wanted to use. She created the Document with all the countries she wanted to include and picked out all the funky fonts that made it difficult for me to paint.
AND SHE LOVES IT!
I have to admit…I think it’s pretty cool myself!
I just love it! I am tempted to copy the map part on a wall in our new house (when we move soon). AWESOME! Did you paint the map by hand too??
Yes, we used a projector and traced it and then painted it. I loved it like that and was tempted to make Maddie stay in her current room so I could put my office right back in here. LOL
Holy cow! That is amazing! And despite being OCD, I kind of like that the country names are all over. Great job!
Thank you Anne. I’m glad you “kind of like” it. LOL Totally kidding. 🙂
This turned out incredible!
I have a machine that cuts and uses semi permanent vinyl and this gave me such inspriation…I could NEVER hand paint like that!
I should have called you for some vinyl! 🙂 My hand got pretty sore but it really only took one day so it wasn’t too bad.
That turned out awesome! Well done with all the crazy fonts.
Looks like I’m going swimming somewhere north of Antarctica 😉
LOL. To her credit, Madison initially wanted to have all the countries in the proper spot but agreed with me when I suggested that it would be awfully crowded in some parts and really bare in others. Not the look we were going for.
I love it!!
