Back to the Future

This is the first photo from the new flat - it's a wall marking we found under the layers of old wallpaper and paint.

I'm posting it partly because I like the image and partly because I don't think I'll be able to post much this week and it provides a nice way to mention it :)

Basically, I've got very little I like in the archive , I've got very little time to go out shooting and even if I had loads of time, I've lent my camera to someone else for a week.

So apologies in advance for the slight absence that's about to take place, I think.

That's beautiful. Why don't you just leave the wall like that and move the furniture in ;) There are only two good things about stripping wallpaper. One is when you pull a corner and a whole dstrip comes off and the other is when you find interesting things underneath :)

Old stencil art. Very Jane Austen. It looks a right royal pain to remove - best of luck matey!!!

Nice touches of jade green. I had a house-warming party once and we stripped the walls first then issued everyone with a pen....then papered over later. There were some cracking comments left - all "clean"...hope the future decorator had a sense of humour.

I could definitely see this working as a textured layer over another image later on, looks wicked.

Old school to the max! Nice shot for the blog mate, nowt wrong with this kind of material.

yeah Toms right about this making a good texture, and nice colours again

Bet it would make a nice overlay on one of your urban shots.

Love the textures here - nice abstract.
