Draped wall art

Toilet paper wall art
I found something wonderful at Jeannie Jeannie. Art installations by Sakir Gokcebag made of... toilet paper rolls. I really, really want someone to attempt this at home.

    If someone gave me a blank wall and a bunch of toilet paper rolls, I'd try it. Looks fun!

    And then we could turn some cats loose in there. Extra fun!

    My first thought: Cat's funpark! And I agree with Grandma G :)

    My two year old would be delighted! At least for the 30 seconds before she tore it to bits.

    It really looks lovely though. I think it could be a fun party game for adults. Put a few nails in the wall to mount the rolls and see what each team comes up with :)

    Can you imagine dusting that after a while?! I guess that'd be a good time to turn the cats loose. ;)

    Perhaps this is what our puppy is trying to do. We have tp all over the house every morning...

    Yes, I think this must be the look he's going for. You should give him a ladder.

    I would, but I feel like I would make a mistake and there goes my art installation, ripped down the middle!

    It's like giant paper quilling. I like :) My daughter just discovered the fun of pulling toilet paper off the roll today, so I don't think this would last too long in our house now...

    Oh, to have a larger wall in my bathroom...
    I really like this - so creative.
    On the artist's site, there's a great photo (the third one) that shows three men in a circle of deep discussion standing in front of the installation. Very enjoyable. :)

    I had to come back and post this. I saw it and thought of the toilet paper...

    I love your work, especially these pictures and would love to hear from you on my website on quilling patterns It would be great if you could leave a comment or maybe even post your own article or tutorial.
