Welcome to Inspire Me Thursday...   A weekly dose of inspiration for

Wallpaper

This week’s creative prompt is Wallpaper. Look to your own favorite papered walls for inspiration of pattern and color… use wallpaper scraps in your art… design your own desktop wallpaper… or perhaps feature wallpaper somehow in an illustration, painting, collage or sketch.

    This is a great topic! I am totally into patterns and such right now. Here is a painting in which I added a lot of “wallpaper” type patterns.

    I love wallpaper, but we prefer to keep our walls painted in shades of white so we can hang art. So… I decided to play around with some patterns in my journal that make me think of Nature’s wallpaper. What a great prompt, Melanie! Thanks:>

    I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying inspire me Thursday, and all the great prompts posted weekly here. For my wallpaper, I had to go with paisleys, there is just something about those little suckers that I love.

    Fun, fun, fun. I loved this (even though I don’t have wallpaper at home). Indeed, it reminded me of *why* I don’t have wallpaper at home. All to do with a pesky kitten a long long time ago—which is what I tried to record in my entry. Here it is: http://www.leafdays.com/collag.....-challenge
    Thanks for looking.
