Lil Blue Boo- Subway Art

Do you guys follow Lil Blue Boo? Seriously, the best best best crafting/sewing blog ever. Boo (the daughter) is the most precious thing in the entire world. And Ashley is incredibly talented. I’m so jealous of her painting abilities. [No really, take a look at her portraits!!!]

I was showing Soccer Mom some of the portraits the other day and we stumbled on an older post with a tutorial for a Subway Art sign.

Epic, right??? [CP Sidenote: we changed HIKE OFTEN to DON’T JUDGE] The tutorial calls for the crafter to make a wooden thingamabob to paint on… but considering that SM and I are not gifted in that world, we just used a canvas!

We placed it on the wall behind the wet bar in between the living room and kitchen. It really ties the two rooms together. And your eye is really drawn to it when you walk in from either room.

In order to put it on that wall, we had to do some rearranging of other hung paintings. Our Tampa house (we have one for every city) was moved to the back wall. And one of my own paintings [a little recreation of Hopper’s Chop Suey] was moved to hallway by the mudroom.

Well I couldn’t stop with just the one in the living room… oh no… Soccer Mom has a little Microsoft Word problem of cutting and pasting ALL the time. Oh my word, she cuts and pastes everything. So I made this one for her office! [CP sidenote: I recommend using fonts sans serif… this one was SO difficult to cut out.]

And I made a little one for Sporty Sister…. um, so I guess y’all know her name now! Hope she doesn’t mind!!! This font was really fun! But it was so difficult to cut out the little “ann.”

I just want to thank Ashley from Lil Blue Boo for sharing such a wonderful tutorial!!!
