Day 7 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Dragon Scale, Dragon Hyde"

Dragon Scale (Dragon Hyde NA1071)

This dramatic pattern looks like a detailed pastel chalk and pencil piece of art when, in fact, it is created from a close up photograph of a Margate's body. The photo was taken January 2014 in the Bahamas aboard the trimaran Triad, out of Gloucester, MA. Lena and I were guests aboard the boat under Capt. Tom Robinson-Cox. Tom is an accomplished fine art photographer and sailor. The margate was not only a beautiful fish, he was delicious.

This pattern is available with a thin stripe or more subtle coloring

 Or in with a thicker stripe and more coloring.

And, even no stripe at all. Do you see what I mean, it looks like a fine pencil drawing?

Today, I worked on a dragonfly's wing, hope to get it ready for the blog soon. Thanks for checking out my creations. 

And here are a few snap shots from that Bahamas trip, I love my work ;-)

Day 6 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Persian Textile"

Persian Textile (DE2758)

This wallpaper pattern was inspired by Persian textiles from the 15th and 16th centuries. We print it on a non-woven fabric which gives it the soft look and feel of an ancient textile.

Repeat 5-12"wide x 16-31" high (custom size & color)

Day 5 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Transenna"

Transenna

This wallpaper appears to be a stone carving from the 800’s. The repeat is 40” wide x 24” high (DE3716). 

Variation, repeat 20” x 14” max (DE2017).

Day 4 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Moonlit Sky"

Moonlit Sky

Our client wanted a dramatic sky to fill an unusual space in his entertainment area. They wanted to have the moon and the sun in the same mural. Quite a challenge and the solution allowed us to add this 20 foot by 45 inch archival giclée wallpaper to our line of scenic offerings.

Day 3 - WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Peacock Tail Feathers"

Peacock Tail Feathers

The New York trend setter Miles Redd was thinking of using an actual Peacock Tail Feather wallpaper in a NY powder room. He asked if I could come up with an alternative to the $3000 per panel and very delicate feathers. This is the result of that challenge & has become among my best selling papers. I generally print on Mural Pro but these feathers are even more amazing when printed on metallic canvas.

Day 2 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY Tea Paper Chinoiserie

Tea Paper Chinoiserie

This beautiful Chinoiserie mural was hand painted by Lena Fransioli and Brooke Sheldon. Chinoiserie allows a decorative expression of figurative work in a controlled design, implying the space of the great outdoors. These design elements bring nature into a managed environment, allowing the designer to place them on the color of their choice. 

This example is over 26 feet long & we keep adding to it.

You can explore a "Gigapan" version of this wallpaper at this link: Tea Paper Chinoiserie Gigapan
There you will be able to zoom in to the most minute detail on any part of the mural. Please make it "full screen" for the best experience.

Day 1 ~ WALLPAPER A DAY - Dragons

I have decided to post a "wallpaper a day" into the foreseeable future. When we are traveling or on an intensive project I may miss a few but let's see if I can keep it up for a year, at least.

For starters, we have chosen the Peabody Essex Museum - Dragons (DE4338). This pattern is taken directly from a detail in a Chinese watercolor painted in 1730. The standard repeat size, pictured here, is 12'w x 11.75'h.

As with all our archival giclée wallpapers, PEM Dragons is available in custom sizing and color. Below are three examples of the millions of possible colors available to fit with your decor. If you send us color swatches, we can work with your colors directly in creating a custom sample.

Thank you for following my occasional posts. I hope to impress you with our newest, and some older creations. Tomorrow, something from Lena Fransioli & Brooke Sheldon's scenic wallpapers.
