Window Curtains Made Out Of Vintage 35mm Film Slides

December 19, 2013 in curtains, how long until they're all clear though?, interior design, living room, look at all the pretty colors!, old, photographs, repurposing, slides, squares, sure why not, taking pictures, taste the rainbow, upcycling or whatever the hell they call it, vintage, window coverings, windows

These are the window curtains made out of vintage 35mm film slides by Scott Sherwood. The curtains are five and a half feet tall, six feet wide and contain 1,152 individual film slides. Are there any nudes in the mix? If Scott did a good job, they all are.

Keep going for a couple more shots, including a shot of the rainbow the slides cast during the day (at least before they get bleached colorless by the sun).

Thanks to RAB, who covers windows by tacking up tye-dyed tapestries like a normal college student.

    If you REALLY wanted to you could UV proof them just like you do with artwork to reduce sun damage.

    pretty sweet curtain idea. Would be better if they could keep them from fading into nothingness. or OR, maybe that's what makes them so precious. The limited amount of time we have on this planet with them.

    As neat as this looks the slides are probably going to fade before the 4 months it takes to maker another curtain.
