So i was asked about the decoupage project with the mini-dresser. i figured someone else might care for some information, rather than an email a post with some tutorial linkage is in order.
Wikipedia features a really nice article with some historical details on the art of decoupage.
My current project began with the purchase of a mini drawer chest from ikea
I assembled it than wiped it down to make sure there was no dust clinging to it.
Than i glued some silk paper (that i had kept from xmas presents i received) to each side and the drawer "facades" using regular white glue, a plastic knife (to spread it evenly, and an exacto knife ( to cut the surplus paper of the edges).
Next: i will be painting and gluing images to the background and maybe even adding some glitter glue (still on the fence on that one). i bought some loteria postcards and have been printing victorian valentines and pin up tattoo flash off the int0rweb etc...
than once it's all put together the whole shebangs get glazed with a varnish i have used these two in the past:
one two
and for inspiration and viewing pleasure i leave with the crafty chica's fabooo decoupage heels
