Pipe cleaner subway map

Speaking of metro maps, and in the continued absence of any interesting work to share, permit me this moment to mention a map I recently constructed as a gift: a map of the Boston subway system made of pipe cleaners, to be hung from a ceiling or wall.

(Pardon all the obvious wire holding it together. This photo was taken before I trimmed the excess, and in less-than-ideal lighting.)

Someone should manufacture this kind of thing using legitimate materials. I’d totally buy one.

For reference, here’s the actual Boston map. Ignore the thin purple (commuter rail) lines and the Silver Line, which—and I have nothing against bus rapid transit—is BS.
