Here is what we started with, some font samples and pictures of compass roses from google.
He taped a string and pencil on the lamp and did some "savants calculs" (that means some really smart stuff) then started by drawing a big circle.
I took pictures of the pencil drawings but it didnt come out too well. I aslo forgot to take pictures of the taping off and painting action. Sorry! But you get the idea.
We shaded the back of the letters on the paper and then were able to trace them onto the wall. We then painted them black with tiny paintbrushes. That was kind of hard but if you look from far away you can't tell that we colored outside the lines. As you know I am a "color outside the lines" kind of girl.
We erased the circle and it left a light mark but it looks okay. It measures about 3 meters by 3 meters. My picture taking skills need some work, that square is just a reflection of the window.
