Recycled vintage wallpaper makes a great art background

April 25, 2022 by Stefanie Girard

I scored some rolls of vintage wallpaper awhile back and I thought I’d experiment with some art making. Here is the first piece I created. I left the curl in it and added a variety of elements including mirrors, a real rock, some die cuts and found images. The piece is titled “The Writing is on the Wallpaper” or “Rock, Wallpaper, Scissors” I can’t decide. Either way is won an award. Pop on over to Youtube to watch a video that includes closeups of the art piece and the rest of the art show.
