Decoupage is the art of cutting out and adhering paper images to any surface creating intricate works of art. The simple cut and paste methods of the past are much more sophisticated today. With true decoupage work it is difficult to
tell what is paper and what is actual painting. There has been a resurgence of interest in Decoupage throughout the world in the last few decades, with serious enthusiasts committed to producing work of a very high standard.
Objects are decorated with images, perhaps from the work of a particular era. The design is executed by cutting out the images, adding further images from
varied resources, painting an appropriate background, gluing the images into place, and covering the object with a depth of varnish which allows the
composition to glow through. Varnishing, sanding and polishing are generally recognized as the most labor intensive areas connected with this art form.
Making the transition from a craft to a fine art is simply a matter of artistic placement of the decoupage materials and the building up of layers varnish.
One of a kind expressions of art are easy to accomplish. Create with your own art, pictures or use existing prints or photographs. Making decoupaged images
using digital imaging from the computer is a new exciting way of making beautiful
and creative works of art.
