Walls and Wallpaper Part Two

-

 If you are not interested in wallpaper you might want to move on to the next post. I use the doll to show scale and I have left in a couple of bloopers. My wallpaper collection started about 30 years ago and while I have thrown out a few I still have ...well a lot!













 
The picture below shows what happens if you use the wrong kind of glue. This is the type of paper you get for model railways and I did it like other papers using a boarder glue.. not such a good idea.

 
Below is another example of when things don't go to plan. This was a second use board and it just does not work.








Not sue why this has gone two tone? It has been stored away from light?









 So many more to add

 I FINISHED my bus at last after two and a half years... I blame the weather you need good weather for outdoor spraying.It has nothing to do with me procrastinating!!!! The pictures are photos stuck onto a sponge type backing (check out next weeks post)  The lamp is a drawer knob  Check out the 'bling' lights (glue was still a little wet on the right hand light but dries clear)  For the flooring I used wallpaper in the living area and doll house floor for the sleep area  I used a stick up light (IKEA) to light the sleep area  I need to make a slim-line table but this one will work for now. The tiled area that yo can see top right is a shower room or it could be a toilet? At the moment I can't find the shower head?
