So I wanted to talk about subway art today.<\/p>\n

It’s my mom’s 54th birthday May 25th. Her favorite song is you are my sunshine. I wanted to do some vinyl work with the lyrics. I also wanted it subway art style. Instead of spending hours placing the lyrics and changing up fonts, I found a site that lets you pick a shape, or upload your own. Enter all the words and it randomizing it.<\/p>\n

I wanted a sun so I Googled sun and clip art. I found this picture.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To upload your own shape click on the arrow next to the word shape. In the pop up window, select Add Image. Select you shape.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It will give you some option. I did not mess with them. Just pressed Accept.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, I entered the lyrics.<\/p>\n

Press Load and paste a copy of the lyrics or the words you want to use.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

You can select a theme to change the colors that are used. This was the once one that popped up that I thought I could easily trace.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I clicked on save and saved the LARGEST PNG.<\/p>\n

In the previous tutorial, I discussed how to trace a image using Inkscape, please follow along here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I saved as an .EPS and opened in signblazer, ready to rumble.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I found an old frame I had lying around the house and got to work.<\/p>\n

I removed the backing and the mat, and cleaned the glass. I printed my sign in a 18″ by 20″ piece of Oracal 651 Yellow.<\/p>\n

Now there were words that were TINY, I started slowly weeding and if the word was a bear and little pieces were pulling off I just pulled the entire word.<\/p>\n

I used my large sized application tape and transferred straight to the top of the glass. I folded the metal clips back to secure the glass but did not replace the mat or backing.<\/p>\n

Finished Product<\/p>\n
