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!
That’s so cool! Wonderful job!
Thank you Nancy.
WOW! congratulations to all three of you!
I admit to a doubletake when I saw “Ireland” on the westcoast, but then got it. 😉
It’s a stunning wall… will you dare put ANYTHING in front of it? Haha
Thanks Cheri. The bed is supposed to go in front of it. I might cry. LOL I kept telling Maddie that all those countries at the bottom won’t be visible…but she insisted that we paint them anyway. We’ll always have these pictures. LOL
Sandra all the handpainting paid off, short of using one of those vinyl cutting machines I will never have, it’s the best solution and something she will tell every one of her friends that comes over – bonus Mom points there! I love me some good fonts, paint and a brush! Nicely done.
Thanks Jaime. K, I have a vinyl cutting machine but didn’t want to use it. Madison had specific colors (exact shades) she wanted to use so we just went this route.
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!
Love it!
Wow…this is incredible!!! You have such magnificent tallent…thank you for sharing!
Thank you Barbara. Thank you for reading!
