The Ridgefield Guild of Artists gave me a chunk of wall to come up with a clever vignette to showcase some of their merchandise for their upcoming "Festive Home" fundraiser.
And being a lover of vintage books....
...I decided to make wallpaper.
(Not to worry, I only used the books that were already falling apart)
Some good old-fashioned humor in these pages!
Fashioned a book shelf from a branch that was
a casualty of the most recent Nor'easter storm.
Added a vintage dress-form, and a console
table my artist friend Judith Randall created
out of a balcony railing I found in Argentina.
Finally up goes the whimsical artwork of
Ridgefield artist Nancy Moore Hulnick
(and the Guild's holiday merchandise)....
...and voila!
This was a fun installation. And so easy. If
you decide to create your own wall of pages, I
recommend using a spray adhesive that does not
bleed through, (like Elmer's spray adhesive). I
like the loose look of this, but you could always
give it a good shellacking.
