Introduce yourself!

My passion is for paper. I love the designs and colors and I took up decoupage as a way to share my passion for paper on the frames and boxes instead of it being in the frames and boxes. The hardest decision is what paper design to put on the frames!

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi, I'm also a huge decoupage fan, I will cover anything and everything including lamps, frames, flower pots and much more.
I scour second hand shops and car boot sales for bargain items that can be transformed into something beautiful :)

Re: Introduce yourself!

I am a mixed media/ photo transfer artist and use a lot of decoupage techniques in my artwork.I have always had a love for decorative papers and am always buying interesting papers for my work. I also make decoupaged clips with ribbon for hanging children's artwork, photographs, postcards, organization. My latest crazy passion and the most popular items in my shop are my custom sock monkeys and bunnies,never thought I would be making those, but I love it and I love the sweet stories that seem to go with each custom order.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi fellow decoupagers! :) I love decoupage and the endless possibilities of how and where you can use this techique. In my shop I sell necklaces and bracelets made of decoupaged wooden beads on satin ribbon and in combination with other beads (ceramic, semiprecious...) to add a bit of variety to it. I make the jewellery in my free time and always make a point of enjoying the process of creating!

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello! I don't do a lot of decoupage, but I work with paper a lot. I have covered frames, candle holders, bowls, and plates before. I generally use paper from old books, magazines, and sheet music. All of these tend to make great patterns. I use some decoupage techniques in making jewelry out of paper beads. I would love to hear how you all incorporate decoupage into your crafting and art as well as what you think about the items that I have posted. I have a Facebook page for my items as well. I will hopefully have my blog up soon, too.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello everybody!
I have accidentally discovered this wonderful technique a year ago, while I was in a crafts shop in Italy. That's where I found a great book called "Decoupage" by Marisa Lupato and that's how I have discovered this new hobby. I use decoupage paper and napkins, but I also paint wood objects.
I am glad I have found your team and I'm looking forward to see your items and treasuries!

Re: Introduce yourself!

I first learnt about decoupage about 20 years ago and fell totally in love with it decoupaging everything in sight for several years. I am a full time Artist now and painting is my main thing but I have recently been revisiting decoupage and I suppose that I see it with fresh eyes after all these years. My preference is for the old style look, with gold backgrounds and Victorian imagery - I have created some decoupage bangles and they are listed in my shop :)

Re: Introduce yourself!

I've been making colorful decoupage lamp shades, vases, night lights, switch plate covers, masks, etc. for my home for the past 10 years and recently decided to share some of them via an ETSY shop. The hardest part was selecting the pieces I was willing to sell. I've lived with them so long, that I love them. Next I must find time outside my job and home to create more!
I look forward to checking out each of your shops! BETH

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi everyone!

I am glad to have found a team on one of my passion!

I've been decoupaging for 11 years with a European technique (where I came from) and I really love this technique;
I use mostly paper napkins and rice paper with beautiful motives.

My new thing is doing some home decor accessories (switch plates, tissue box etc...assorted to the room)

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello everyone! I am a Spanish interior designer who discovered decoupage a couple of years ago thanks to a youtube video. Since then, I've been experimenting by mixing different techniques and materials since I think the decoupage offers many possibilities. I began making boxes for centerpieces of sweets and cookies for "Experimentos con azucar" (http://www.experimentosconazucar.com/2012/05/la-primera-comunion.html) and other items to decorate her shop. Now I have decided to open a shop of my own at etsy. I'm very new here so I don't have many items yet, but I'm working hard to take great pictures to list all my work soon.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello! My shop is new, and right now I have a bunch of paper napkins perfect for decoupaging, and some rice papers, too. I LOVE to decoupage, but I have WAY TOO MANY supplies! (Happens quite frequently, doesn't it?) Driving my family crazy with my saving of so many pretty papers, napkins, and pictures. Lol!
Here are some examples of what I have agreed to part with:

Re: Introduce yourself!

I love decoupaging! I cover house-ware items like salt shakers and picture frames. I do this with old book pages mostly and now I'm starting to use maps.

Hi! I'm Heidi Emm, my shop is www.etsy.com/shop/heidileem. :) So far, I'm very new to this site and I'm trying my best to find the teams that relate closest to my work. I love decoupage, and I have many floral decoupaged collages, and also like doing glass bottles. I've done a table before, too - which was very fun! I list jewelry and home decor in my shop, too.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi, everyone! I am glad I found this team who shares my passion. I started collecting paper napkins since I was a little girl. I love napkins so much I was searching one day what to do with them. I found out about "decoupage" and fell in love.
I create decoupage art on canvas for family and friends for all occasions. Great to read about your tips here, you guys are awesome!!!

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi I am very new to Etsy, 5 days, and fairly new to decoupage, a few months, but I'm loving both atm.
I am interested in decorative art and I also do pencil portraits but am concentrating on decoupage, it suits me as it is relatively quick in contrast to portraits and painting lol

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello everyone

Glad to finally find a decoupage group to join!! I have been doing decoupage for over 15 years in one form or another. I mainly use it in trinket boxes, flower pots and dishes. I am right now working on incorporating decoupage in furniture and office accessories. I love working with all sorts of fun papers and incorporating all sorts of odds and ends into the final product.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi Everyone!

My passion is paper, I love all the different patterns, textures and possibilities you can do with it! I've been decoupaging for several years now, from boxes, to frames to clothespins, if it's a blank canvas I'm probably thinking about ways I can decoupage it!
