I have to confess I have a little tiny house addiction going on. The middle house is about 8cm high so they are really small. After a bit of work over the past few days, I am excited to show you something I was working on last night till 1.30am. Literally "hot off the press" is the latest range of 6 x 6 papers. Having just released the Vintage Wallpaper 6 x 6 papers at SIA last week in Sydney, I was a bit inspired to do another range. This one is called French Wallpaper. I wanted to design some papers in a teal blue, cream and chocolate tones, so here is the result below. With some "french text" some Victorian designs and some wallpaper I wanted to have something different to "cover" the tiny houses... and other things as well! That doesn't mean if I need a new paper I just can go out and get them printed, I need to sell the first two ranges first! LOL!Today I was fortunate enough to be in the right place a the right time. I can say that this job, the French Wallpaper was printed today here in Perth on a brand new $2.5 million dollar, 8 colour press and my job was the first to be printed on it. So I have the very first piece of paper that went through this amazing machine. If you know a bit about printing, these new machines print CTP, which means computer to plate, so the old "negatives" are done away with and now everything is done on the press. Apparently they print up to 15,000 sheets per hour! Well I took a photo to capture the moment. (my paper was going through the machine at the time) Here are the orginal 6 x 6 papers, Vintage Wallpaper printed a couple of weeks ago.
Now on to other things... more of the latest bits and pieces, transparencies, 4 different types! Great to cut up, use as little pieces for windows. . . . . or put into some frames....
Available in stores soon, as these arrived at my place today. You can cut out some of the indvidual shapes to overlay on ATC's or on a layout etc. I think they will make great pages in a small journal.
This pic of the 3D houses taken at the booth at SIA by the lovely Ngaire This photo makes them look really cute all ganged up together. They do look really nice with a bit of German Scrap to finish them off which I buy from Scraptivate here in Perth. The 3d houses come in 2 different size kits, House Kit #1 has five really tiny houses and House Kit#2 has 4 larger houses (will try to get a pic of it up soon), both kits include full instructions. All you do is cover with paper, glue together and embellish with german scrap, chipboard pieces, tiny braid or buttons. Also you can buy some tiny "village text" to go with the small houses. Some of the sayings include, "My little house", "petite maison", "the village" etc...Well better get off to bed now, nite!

Hi, I'm Sadhana, and I am from New Delhi, India!
I ran into your blog quite by accident while trying to locate the manufacturer of a beautiful French Wallpaper. The Indian dealer/importer is a co. called Elementto, and the product is called "NIRVANA/ VP-629-01.
It is beautiful, imitates the coat and texture of an animalskin. I designed some bedroom furniture around it for which I would need 20 sq ft. The dealer wont sell any qty below 75 sq ft! Thats way too much for me to invest in, at Rs 200/sq ft.
Would you know any way I could source the qty I need from the manufacturer or designer?
I know this might be a bit far fetched, kind of hitting in the dark, but we Indians have a lot of faith in Miracles! And believe me, Miracles do happen!
Best wishes,
Sadhana
