Hi all!

I am going to be cheeky and ask you to be on the look out for some special 'wrapping paper' for me - I have had a look around town today and I am struggling to find what I am after. I need some Victorian style paper (thought wrapping paper) with either angels/cherubs or Santa on it for a project we are working on, at an art class I attend each week. I will obviously carry on looking myself but if while you are on your travels, you could keep your eyes peeled I would be REALLY grateful!!! If you find any, please PM me and let me know where!!

Thanks in advance

Lisa :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Try looking on a site called museumselection.com. It has some pretty angel christmas gift wrap in the stationery section.
hope that helps

I stuck with the Victorian Fairies (thanks to any of you who replied or kept an eye out for the other paper I was after!) and the finished result of the project we were working on at the art group was a lovely Paper Mache bowl decorated in the fairy paper which I have used for a nut bowl over Christmas. Lots of people have commented on how lovely it is - so I'm really pleased with myself!!

Sorry for the delay of about 6 months! But, here is the finished bowl made from paper mache that I needed that special paper for! I used the bowl at Christmas for the shelled nuts! Here it is
