Remember the Paper garden I pasted up in our little brick courtyard last year? Well it was getting a bit weathered and old – I decided to scrub it off and start fresh.
Enter my new fascination with pitcher plants… I’m determined to hunt me down one of the Nepenthes variety. I’ve got such a thing for hanging plants at the moment!
I learnt a bit from the orchid cut outs I put up last round – This time I went for brighter, denser colour. Plus I cut right down to the image edge rather than leaving a white border. They def. jump out at you from the bricks way more.
So here are the new paste ups I’ve been making over the past week in the evenings, I finally got a chance to put them up this afternoon – I thought they’d be a good way to add a bit of colour and interest to our little brick space.
We just had our half yearly flat inspection, so I figure I get six months to enjoy these before we have to clean the space back to blank… They’ll probably have deteriorated and started peeling by then – I love that in the meantime I can watch this decay process outside paste-ups go through up close.
Anyways back to the orchids. The 
I pasted these birds up a couple of days ago – They’re my test run to see how easy paste ups actually are… Probably not that hard unless you take in the fact that our kitchen is on the second story of our apartment, and that wall is a meter and a bit away from the window with a drop down to the ground beneath on both sides. It’s only really accessible from our kitchen window that opens maybe 30cm. I got these up with the help of a long handled broom while sitting on the bench.
