Lickable wallpaper!

For my first experiment with lickable wallpaper I am going to keep it simple and just use freshly squeezed fruit juice and mix with some gelatine to thicken it up into a paste. 

I was stuck with how to display the fruit on the wallpaper because i was originally going to just draw an orange, lemon and lime how they actually look, but it looked boring and not very exciting. 
It finally came to me how to make it more visually appealing after sitting looking at my flowery bedding - I can display them as though they were cut in half showing the segments! 


With the fruit I had to add food colouring because the colour of the freshly squeezed juice is very bland. 

Sadly this experiment did not work out well at all, because when using gelatine in such strong quantities with little other strong flavours to mask it, the gelatine actually has a very distinct, horrible flavour.
