An art project in 35 pictures

Big blank wall…

Hmmm.

Offbeat Home to the rescue!

But instead of NYC…

Six months since the trip, and I’m still nostalgic.

Less residue than electrical tape?

Test strip.

A few hours later.

Grrr!

Just go for paint.  I’ve got lots of paint.

Rental, so can’t paint on the walls.

Uh-oh, wait a second…

Guess that won’t work.

Hmmmmmm……

Option two!

Let’s do it.

Living room’s barely big enough.

First of two coats.

Assemble for seamless painting.

A string grid to stay somewhat oriented.

First, the Thames.

Then Circle and H&C.

Propping up the strings for the maroon Metropolitan.

Thinking I need a bigger living room as the Central goes in.

Time for Northern. It’s the darkest color, so don’t mess up!

Just Overground orange and DLR teal remain.

Figuring out the 45 degree angles.

Some floor freed up with only DLR left.

Washing the brush for the last time.

Ready to hang.

Thank you, 3M scientists!

Recruited some help to hang them straight.

Finished!

And it fills the wall.

Success! I think I need a nap……..
