More Soldered Art- the Bathroom Wallpaper story

So here's the story: Once upon a time, when I was a young girl, I lived in a house. And in that house, on the second floor, there was a bathroom. It was an OOOOOOLD bathroom, with clawfoot tub, and some very old, funky wallpaper. When we first moved into that house, it was ugly, funky wallpaper. Four years later, when I left for college, it was ugly, funky wallpaper. Eight years after that, when I got married, it was ugly, funky wallpaper. When the first grandchild came to visit the house, and take a bath in the claw foot tub, it was STILL ugly, funky wallpaper. Then, lo-and-behold, my parents finally decided to re-do the bathroom-- after 23 years of UGLY, FUNKY WALLPAPER! And do you know what?? My parents thought it would be funny to give me a piece of that ugly funky wallpaper... and dared me to do something with it. So, a few pieces of glass, some foil tape, and a sterling silver bathtub charm later.... it became to funky, GORGEOUS ornament! And the young girl, who was now a grown up lady, loves it. And she lived happily ever-after! (Oh, and so did her mom and sister, who also received similar ornaments for Christmas.) THE END. (Of the wallpaper!) ((or is it???!!!???)

I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated your wallpaper story. I am sure the ornaments will be appreciated for what they represent.Very clever!

Love the ornament! Too bad the wallpaper never came around to being vintage in situ. But sadly some designs never make it to that level. I wish I had some of the wallpaper from my last kitchen. Green foil leaves - I could do a lot with that paper!
