Video Tutorial - Decoupage Technique

 Hi There!

It's Thursday and that means it's Video Tutorial Day! I wasn't sure if this was going to become an ongoing thing, but you guys seem to like it so it's going to continue! Woo hoo!

Now you've probably noticed I've been doing some decoupage pendants lately. So it occurred to me that since decoupage is such a versatile technique, you might find this particular one of interest. So check it out and if you like it, check the little like box down below the entry. And if you have any suggestions for other subjects let me know in the comment box! And thanks for coming by!

Coming Attraction! Coming Soon to Designs By M'Ayanna on Etsy!

My New Vintage line includes classic styles and classic techniques. One of those classic techniques is decoupage. I learned to do decoupage last year. i honestly though of it as something little old ladies did to keep busy. I never realized what a wonderful way it is to be creative when you are otherwise artfully challenged! So come meet my buddy "Chauncey."

 "Chauncey" is also a steam punk themed pendant done in wood. The artwork is from fellow Etsian LandofEnchantment and has been glued to a wooden domino. The image is embellished with a piece of the inner workings of an antique watch, a red rhinestone and a pale olive green rhinestone. It is covered in 20 coats of of decoupage medium and dipped twice in wood lacquer. The embellishments add a certain something to the dimensionality of the piece. Isn't he handsome?

Coming soon to Etsy!
