Decoupage - who is into it?

[Tony Manero]

My mother wants to share her last work of decoupage who is into this hobby too?

 

[Drake Farstrider]

Umm I am not into this hobby myself as I don\'t even know what it is.

 

[Tony Manero]

Decoupage, derived from the French word decouper, meaning to cut out, is the creative art of assembling, pasting and varnishing paper cutouts for decorating objects.

I think my grandma used to be into this.
Then she got really sick and has been in bad shape ever since. It makes me sad, she used to be a really good swimmer, not she can\'t even wade in the water.

Our lass does this stuff along with card making. Pretty good she is too.

my sister makes cards she has tons of these stamps and embosses them

My mom used to do this in the seventies. There was something similar she did too.... sort of a multilayer things that gave the images a 3d sort of look. hmm.

They’re beautiful Tony, what size are they?

I did this kind of crafting in the 70s too, along with macramé and batik. It\'s nice to see it\'s making a come back.

That would be called Decoupage then.

I kinda wanted...

to critique these via Tony Manero style, but I think all the irony and cruel humor would have been lost.

Those look really good. I had seen a dresser decoupaged with torn paper and then stained- it was cool. If your Mom were to decopauge with Warhammer and 40K images, say from old codexes, she might be able to sell them on ebay...
