At last!
A little while back, I decided to print wallpaper for our new handmade store in Denver, “Tomte. Modern Craft.”
After telling everyone I possibly could that I was going to print wallpaper for the store, I realized that I was not at all sure how to attack it.
Paper research and a fairly simple registration system later, I set to work with my lovely assistant, Crystal. (who designed the images and the pattern repeat)
I printed 8 foot sheets, 8 prints to a sheet. The print area was 24″ wide and 18″ tall. (you can see why 8 18″ prints was only 8 feet in the middle picture)
We used a waterbased ink, and it was a pretty fast paced run to keep the screen from drying and making sure we didn’t ruin any of the paper.
It’s finally all up on the wall, and I’m super happy with how it turned out. I learned a lot as I went, and the next project will be even better.

P.S. I’ll update with a picture of the store once it’s all put back together.

No disillusions of summer hanging on. Fall is firmly taking hold with Winter close on its heels. Right now I am drinking a cup of tea and eating homemade chili that consists mostly of the last of the ingredients from my garden. Tomatoes, carrots, jalapenos, and habaneros. Fresh cooked beans. Good to keep warm with in this cool, rainy weather.
Last night we attended a reading by poets John Gallaher and G. C. Waldrep as part of the release of COPPER NICKEL 12. Visit http://www.copper-nickel.org to pick up your copy.
