Handpainted French Wallpaper


This handpainted French wallpaper was so expensive that the decorator was not allowed to furnish this room for 6 months. It was another 6 months before the client agreed to have anything hung on the walls. Eventually the room was finished.
This design contains flowers and birds as Patrice describes in CoS.

Sigil Step and Shrine - photo by Xoche Adame 2011



Xochi Adame:
"That is the "cave" with the spring on it, the door to the cloister. The doorway doesn't look like a cave obviously, but inside it looks more like a cave with damp dirt floors and water than a cloister. It doesn't look like a cloister now at all, but maybe that's what it used to be. But I don't know its history. It's weird, because the front looks all man made. But the back is just a huge hill. It's like a natural formation you can climb up on one end, like this was maybe built into the side of a big hill or something."
