Possible Project


Vintage train stop signs are fabulous ... fabulous but expensive. My best friend blogged about them recently, pondering how fun a Chicago El stop version would be.



The wheels starting turning ... and I came up with this template:


And then because my best friend is awesome (obvi, she's my best friend) she sent me a link to a tutorial on how to make this a DIY project. http://lilblueboo.blogspot.com/2010/01/resolutions-subway-art-tutorial.html We agreed, ditch the wood and go with canvas. But of course ... the wheels kept turning ...


These are the name of buildings on Miami University's campus: a magically little bubble where we spent four fabulous years!
The ultimate goal is to make a third with the towns my family visited on the Chesapeake Bay on our boat the summers of my childhood. As I've said in a previous posting: history, transition and future. I think they'd look great hung together in my itty bitty studio.
