ihcpl/crafts/decoupage08/21/2009

It's been awhile since I posted. I actually completed this module a few weeks ago, but my blog had been temporarily disabled because of inactivity. It's reinstated now of course, but my post won't be as fresh although I did make some notes. Anyway-from the websites flickr, etsy, mycraft.com,hgtv, etc. I liked the earrings, the trompe l'oeil chest, a screen, the frames, and the mirrors. I really like the mosaic items too. On HGTV there was a decoupage mosaic toy box that was impressive- on etsy, I liked the rabbit figurines and the silly bunny light-and I also like the poster chairs as well as the module creator which were made from fine art prints.
I have not made a decoupage project yet, but would like to make one soon. A few weeks ago one of our librarians held a young adult craft where the teens made decoupage keepsake boxes out of nice cigar boxes. I took one home. I have puzzle glue at home which is similar to modge podge I believe. I would like to do a mosaic effect-I have a mosaic stepping stone kit at home to complete also.
Thanks for posting this module-I enjoyed it. (:
