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!
Awesome project! Great idea to use the projector, I was wondering how you got it to look so perfect. Looks like it was fun to do.
What a great project! Travel and typography are right up my alley so this is amazing! Well done mama! 🙂
Wow, that is amazing! I wouldn’t have the patience to pull something off like that. Fab job!
Love it! Especially the different fonts. I know what you mean about the hand-painting. I did a wall of camouflage for my son several years ago (which is still there).
I did want to know if you did this project with a craft store (Michaels) projector or more of a school-type projector?
Thanks, and it’s nice to see someone chipping away at their to-do list!
You could have used it to make stencils with vinyl or removable contact paper and maybe could have avoided using the projector for all those words. Just a thought! I use a Pazzles cutter for my business and it’s awesome. I love all the stuff I can do with it!
