I know that this is a gardening forum, but I would like to show you some of my hand made works. At the beginnig - my new passion decupage
Forgive my ignorance Anisa but decoupage is a hobby I didn't even know existed Your pieces look very pretty indeed. Could you give a quick summary of how you do it?
Those are very pretty! I use to do decoupage years ago but I don't remember mine looking as nice as yours.
Thank you. Decoupage the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf and other decorative elements. Commonly an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by purpose-manufactured papers. Each layer is sealed with varnishes (often multiple coats) until the "stuck on" appearance disappears and the result looks like painting.
I did some decoupage many years ago but they were 'kindergarten projects' compared to your work, those are fantastic.
Really nice, Anisa! how long did this project take you? what types of materials would I need to try this myself if you don't mind telling us... please and thank you... maybe a little step by step post? pretty please.
Thank you. It isn't difficult. First you have to remove old color and paint for such as you like. Than you have to take napkin ( I'm not sure is it right word?) and special decupage glue. If the color of your object is the same you can glue but if not in this place where will be napkin you have to paint on this colour which has a background napkins. After this you glue your napkin, you use only first layer. At the end you need to secure everything varnish. I hope you understand ( and I'm sorry for errors). And my decupage garden stone and cat :
You are doing fine explaining. thank you. I loved your table. maybe I can make a Winter project out of this.
So glad you did not decoupage your cat! You do a beautiful job picking out just the right decorations for your objects. I haven't done decoupage in over 20 years. Maybe I will have to give it a go.
