Decoupage

Decoupage is the art of cutting and gluing paper images to surfaces.

John Derian, an avid collector of antique fruit, flower and animal prints, hand-paints borders over centuries-old ledgers and letters. He combines all these elements into charmingly eccentric collages, which are reprinted and pieced together in layers under glass accessories.

Karin Garcia is an Argentinian born artist well known for her decoupaged furniture. She prints her own paper and creates magnificent designs beneath resin, that she calls 'Functional Art'.

"I love this technique because it is infinite -- there is no limit to the different styles that can be achieved." Karin Garcia
