I'm madly in LOVE with this wall art!
This project took less than 2 hrs and $10!
What you need is a projector, pencil, paint and an image.
First I borrowed a projector from my hubby's work
or
Most public\college libraries will rent out the older projectors but you will need to use transparent paper with that style of projector.
See my older post about that technique HERE
I found a few images of world maps on the web. I hooked up the computer to the projector and projected my
favorite image on the wall
Use your pencil to trace.
This took about 10 mintues to trace...
Paint!
I outlined in paint first just to be sure I was gonna like it...
There might be a few extra islands.....
But hey I'm all about changing the WORLD!
Enjoy

Hi, I found your blog at My Romatic Home. I love your wall world map, too cute! I would like to invite you to post this over at my new link party, Masterpiece Monday, at my blog, Boogieboard Cottage. The link is already up. I hope you can join the party!
Happy New Year,

Adorable-you should be so proud!
Fantastic! I love it! More islands to hang out on -how cool is that? When I was a kid, my dad painted a jungle scene with acrylic paints on our front entry hall, (using a projector also) -it was AWESOME! Yet, he wasn't 100% pleased with it, so after a couple of months -he painted over it -ugh! Yeah that your family will get to enjoy yours for much longer!
I LOVE it! I have been wanting to create a map themed bathroom for awhile now. We won't be able to remodel for a little longer still, but I am keeping this in mind for when I'm ready for it! Thanks for linking up to Topsy Turvy Tuesday's! I'm featuring these on my blog tonight!
very cool I love the way the art is done on the wall i am sure makes for a wonderful conversation

This looks awesome and I love how you can see New Zealand (where I am from) some people leave that out! Adding islands is awesome but not leaving out whole countries! Have a great day
What a great job you've done!
Ah! I can see you DO like maps! Very cool - thanks for stopping by my blog. I see you like digital scrapbooking. I am having my first give a way and you'd have a great chance at winning b/c hardly anyone has entered! It's cool stuff.

Oh my word! I am in love with this project! I'm bookmarking it to show hubby for our basement.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Absolute gorgeousness!! Visiting from Kimbas party!! :)
I am SO loving this!!!
Thanks for sharing it ... will have to make something like this once we moved! :-)
That is a really neat use of a projector! I hadn't thought of it for tracing large images.
I work for a place that rents them out if anyone else is interested in trying this project: http://www.atsrentals.com/cat--Rent-Projectors--108.html
