Project Spotlight: Lives of Grass Print Re-Creation

Great Wall recently received photos of a project we did with Kathleen McGovern Studio of Interior Design. The idea behind the piece was to create a print based on the work of French artist, Mathilde Roussel. Roussel fabricates human forms made of dirt, that are then covered with living grass and suspended in the environment they are presented in.

Lives of Grass

The idea behind what Kathleen McGovern Studio of Interior Design wanted to achieve was a very dynamic looking 2D representation of these installations. The artwork was developed, basically by re-creating the work process digitally. First developing a base dirt form for the figure, then placing individual blades of grass over it and rendering a realistic lighting effect throughout. We really enjoy the results and the piece looks fantastic in it's home. Take a look below.

White walls are a great way to create an open space.  They are beautiful, and can make the accent pieces of your room really stand out.  But white walls don't have to be boring.  With subtle white on white wallpaper, you can add a really fun illusion of texture and play with the look of the room.   Working with neutrals is a great wall to use wallpaper in a small space without overwhelming the room.

The tufted white leather wallpaper is one of our new pieces from the FABric line.   Tufted white leather sofas , chairs, and ottomans are really hot in interior design right now.  The line consists of wallpaper with the appearance and inspiration of textiles.  As opposed to wall murals, the new Signature wallpaper lines, come in panels.

Cellular grey is another great use of white on white.  A computer screen doesn't do it justice.  Printed, it has such beautiful, subtle gradients.  It's a really versatile pattern, and much like the tufted white leather, it works for a feminine or masculine decor.

Pantone 2012 Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango.

Great Wall is hopping on the Tangerine Tango band wagon.  Especially during winter, a fun color can really lift the mood.   The Polyvore set we created is fashion-oriented, but still features our Tape Deck wall covering from our Wallgazer collection.  This wallpaper has a street chic look to it.  It's fun for a teenager's room or a rec room, where you  might enjoy listening to some 80s music or playing Rock Band with the fam.

No matter how you decorate, this color can be incorporated into your decor.  Have a black and white room?  Try adding some flowers in this poppy red-orange hue. It would look great with Great Wall's new black and white houndstooth pattern, which is available in custom orders and will go on our website soon. 

Our "Drugs Saved My Life" wall covering/wallpaper also features a color very similar to Tangerine Tango.  This wallpaper was actually inspired by the book/movie "Prozac Nation".

Once again, all of our wallpapers can be custom  tweaked to fit your size, design, or color home decor needs.

Feature of the Day: "Ameba" Wallgazer Wallpaper

At Great Wall, we print custom murals, banner, wallpaper; we even print those giant checks that people win at office parties. But we are all artists first. We can become inspired by fashion, books, nature, not just an Ikea catalog. We recently started a Polyvore account. Polyvore is a sight where people can take items, images, and create collages simple, artistic, editorial, etc. It originally began as a shopping site, but it is now also a way to express yourself. It is very in depth and addictive. It's a way to quickly get your aesthetic ideas across.

Within just a few weeks, people have really responded to our "Ameba" wallgazer wallpaper. It's a great neutral, because it isn't boring. It's really can help accent the crazy bright color of your choice. We are honored to see that people have found this so inspiring and versatile. We are taking some creative license with the spelling.

We created this one for our personal page. greatwall.polyvore.com The Amoeba wallpaper was great to show off some neutrals, and champagnes for ringing in the new Year.
