Continuous wallpaper scenery to deceive the eye, in blue-greens and gray on white. This was my entry in Spoonflower's 'Mod Wallpaper Contest' (it bombed!). Original: Line art + stencils. © Su Schaefer 2013 The descriptive phrase for this technique, "trompe l'oeil" (meaning 'to deceive the eye') dates from the Baroque, but the technique - often seen in murals - was used from Greek and Roman times on. Typical examples use a window, door, or hallway to suggest larger spaces (more information here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe-l%27%C5%93il)). See new designs by Su_G. (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/su_g?sort=new) Original version. Line art + stencils, half-brick repeat. [Currently set @ Fabric: 172 ppi; Wallpaper: 300 ppi]
