My copy paper wallpaper

Thought I'd share my copy paper wallpaper project. I went through a love-hate relationship with that wall as it progressed.

I had a big wall to fill in and wanted something large in scale but subdued in color.

I went to blockposters.com (no affiliation) and uploaded this scroll image I found on The Graphics Fairy website (no affiliation).

Then requested the image size of 4 pages wide and 8 tall, downloaded it and printed four copies.

I used wallpaper paste to apply...

Then colored the paper with some old wood stain I had that was mixed with glaze.

Not to everyone's taste I'm sure, but it grew on me! I went back and forth between leaving it white and staining but my printer kept printing it out with a pinkish cast on parts, so staining it was.

Looking back I wished I had trimmed the margins in the paper to make the scroll connect but IRL the spaces between each sheet doesn't look quite so pronounced.

I'm thinking of blowing up a handwritten old love poem next and printing on parchment paper to save the step of staining.

Anyway, thought I'd share my latest project with my gw friends.
