No, I'm not tea dying paper. This is what is coming OUT of the paper as I soak it apart-- vintage wallpaper salvaged from my in-laws' latest renovation.
I discovered the pile of it collecting dust in my studio. No time like the present for soaking it apart! I will be more likely to use it in a project.
Set out to dry on an old long sleeved t-shirt, it looks artistic already!
The colors faded as they dried
I love the ragged edges of the disintegrating paper.
Some colors remained vivid.
While others are a mere shadow of their former selves.

Well these ARE fantastic looking N!!! Love how you put an old shirt to work one last time...or perhaps not teehee!!!
You ALMOST make me want to clean up LOLLLL
Nathalie,
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and ability to save things that I would have just tossed.
I can't wait to see what you do with these scrappies.
Hugs!
Only you would've put them out to dry like that! Very clever!!!mi
Really pretty sweetie!hughugs
what a great find, so very Pam Garrison! I always wondered where people find this stuff, just a shame my MIL is so tidy and so organised she has NOTHING old in the house,reasons to head home are kinda stacking up! Can't wait to see what you do with these gems!
Wow! These look gorgeous! There is nothing like the real thing. You can't get the same effect as that with a scanned image of old wallpaper!!
looks like it could be an entry for altered couture.... :) You have some amazing talents..... can wait to see what you do with the wallpaper :) xo anna
Nathalie, I am definitely NOT a cook! My souffles would resemble pancakes more, methinks!! I do find that putting my gel penned page in the sunlight, or under my lamp, makes them dry faster. But I haven't tried a heat gun or hairdryer.
These looks great !
