i feel like an *~archaeologist~*  
last week, me and a few classmates visited an abandoned house that was going to be demolished. there were two construction workers tearing down the few walls left and we chatted with them a bit and they let us take some stuff with us (there was a beautiful old cupboard left that was falling apart, but we couldn't really take that. XD) i grabbed some of the wallpaper that was still clinging to the walls, and a fragment of an old newspaper that had been used as wallpaper under the real stuff.


more info + pics - image heavy )

i've also made a brush set from the wallpaper fragments. i'll link to it from here as soon as i upload it to dA. here's the set.

i just ate a ton of chocolate. am feeling terribly guilty right now.

also, i want to thank everyone who commented on my last post, i had never reached a second third!!!! page of comments before. it feels kind of nice. :D




i don't usually post single photos of my awesome adventures in abandoned places, but this was the only good picture i took of this house. i didn't actually go inside because the stench of (animal or human, i have no idea) piss was like a kick to the face. i have some older photos of that same house here, if anyone wants to take a look.
