decoupage

i want to decoupage some shoe boxes (for storage) because i have this idea of what kind of decorations i want for my room but nothing seems to match, so id rather just make my own.

besides everything is so expensive now, ugh.

or maybe im just broke haha.

I didn’t think it was possible for decoupage to end in a rage of splintered wood and shattered glass but, for me, it did. Fuck decoupage.

I don’t know why but decoupage has always appealed to me and now I have a project in mind.

I started my first experiment with decoupage.

Magazine paper on canvas. A small roller really helped because magazine paper shrinks and wrinkles when moisture is applied. It is an experiment. It’s fun!

I think when I use up some of my pretties out of my collection of images, I will make a good solid plan. Without a good plan the layering is difficult to get right. I’m thinking about picking a chakra as a theme and make a decoupage composition out of images related to the chosen chakra.

I will not consider this done until a REAL project is completed!

i’ve done many small projects, but i want to do a large piece of furniture…
