Subway Art

subway art has been pretty popular for awhile now. i have wanted to make one for a long time now but without a silhouette or circuit i figured it would be pretty hard. and it was. but totally worth it!


basically what i did was pick three fonts i loved. i didn't know how to figure out how big to make each word so i played around and guessed. it worked for the most part. once all of the words were printed out and had the layout i liked i flipped the word over and shaded the entire word with a pencil. then flip it back over place it where you want it to be and trace the word. once you remove the paper you should see the word on your canvas. so i did that with all the words and then painted. it took a few hours but i think it turned out great.


ugh it wont rotate. its saved the correct way. so sorry.

i guess i should give a little info about why i picked these places...

pine bluff, arkansas is where adam and i met.
chicago, illinois- we spent a week here when we first started dating. the city where we fell in love!
nebraska- where we got married and lived the first 4 months of our married life!
ponca city, oklahoma- our favorite little city that was almost halfway between texas and nebraska.
south daokota- we spent adam's 24th birthday here visiting mt. rushmore
texas- where we were born and raised!
savannah, georgia- we spent my 22nd birthday here
alabama- we went camping here one labor day weekend.
houston, texas- most of adam's family lives here and we love to visit them!
peachtree city, georgia- where we live now!
cape girardeau, missouri- adam had a business trip here and i tagged along. also i have family from here.
tennessee- another business trip i tagged along to. we spent valentines in nashville!


hopefully over the years i will have to make a few more of these with new places! hope everyone has a great labor day weekend!

xoxo
