Glad Tidings...

Heading down to the basement to root through boxes and find a single beaded silver lampshade for the energy efficient LED bulb hanging nakedly over my desk wearing a makeshift shade made from a piece of wallpaper.

Wallpaper is an amazing substrate for a lot of things. How do I know? From watching an Indie Film called Off the Map starring Joan Allen and Sam Elliot (not to be confused by some other movie called Off the Map currently showing stills alongside the original on IMDB).
In it William Gibbs (Jim True Frost) paints his water colours on the back of rolls of wallpaper.

What a great medium! In fact takes the paint really well and it is solid, really solid.
Going to try it myself for my first foray back into the world of paint after 40 years.

Glad Tidings to all!
