Decoupage: - Working with wood

This very large Sacred Heart of Jesus picture was decoupaged about 30 years ago.
This is a recent photograph, The colours have kept beautifully.
I did make one very big mistake though. The back of the timber was not sealed ...
The result is that the project has warped and is now concave.
Although concave, the beauty is still there and most people actually like the effect.
The size is about two feet wide by three feet high.
You can find lots of decoupage and craft print on CD's right here and on my website

Decoupage plate using fold and cut technique
Decoupage plate using fold and cut technique. Coloured paper was taken from magazine pages. It has faded a bit since this photo was taken so I don't really recommend using all magazine prints. You really need to test the pages before using them if you want the colours to last. It was varnished with water based varnish.

Decoupage - Plastic serving dish transformed with decoupage.

It was first lightly sanded then painted with "Liquitex Matt Medium" to grab on tight to the plastic. I let it cure for a few days before painting on the background. The background colour was an off white paint by JoSonja. The brown edges were burnt umber and a touch of Pthalo blue. The colours were blended in directly on the dish. It was then varnished with clear water based varnish

Old suitcase with decoupage pink blossoms and hydrangers
Old decoupage suitcase. The op-shop did not want this. They put it in the rubbish and I spotted it and salvaged it. Decoupage transformed it into a beauty. Background is very dark blue. Prints were from wrapping paper. Ribbons were hand painted later. Varnished with clear water based varnish.
The finished suitcase was donated to a fund raising group called "Camp Quality".

BREAKFAST TRAY
...This style tray was found at the $2.00 shop. They usually have them in stock around Christmas time. I like using JoSonja's background colours for painting the backgrounds. In this particular case, I would paint the background a solid colour then sponge on two slightly different shades of colour. The prints would then be added with decoupage techniques. |
