Description

Two rolls of "True Blue Gold" wallpaper (gold and white). This wallpaper is made like in the old days, beautifully hand printed on a 100 year old machine with real artist pigments (see photo), this makes the surface very living, far from the ordinary machine printed wallpapers made today. To more fully describe the surface of the wallpaper you can say that this is what you find in old castles.  It is hand printed white bottom with splashed vivid lines in glittery gold.  It is all organic and totally resistant against sunlight, will never fade/bleach. One roll is 10m long x 54cm wide (11 yards x 21 inches), repeatable in all directions like usual wallpaper.  Use ordinary glue for wallpaper.

About Camilla:  "I grew up in Sweden, my parents had three daughters and soon my father went off to tour with a circus and my mother went to art school where at the age of three I was a live model for the art students.  I remember being fascinated by all the colors and shapes and later all the people that looked cool.  I had absolutely no money, but they all seemed to live for their paintings.  My first proper job was as at a post office at the age of 14 and I have been working ever since.  I took a break where in 2000 I earned a Master of Fine Arts, MFA, from University College of Arts, Crafts and Design.  I believe just like a gorgeous dish your surroundings should nourish you, be inspiring and make you love life. This is what it's all about!"
