Remember flocked wallpaper? I found all this wonderful vintage metallic flocked wallpaper awhile back. It reminded me of these neighbors of ours who were oh so mod. They had metallic flocked wallpaper in the bathrooms, and a huge, funky flower mural type wallpaper in the living room. I thought it was spectacular compared to the dark paneled walls in our house, and I longed for such excitement. So when I found this, I just had to have it. I decided to use it as a mat around some equally mod beetles. They are acrylic and ink, and are dedicated to Darryl and Linda, the ever-so-cool couple next door.
