Vintage Decoupage Instructions from Craft Course Publishers ( H120 or 33-99151 ) ~ The Art of Decoupage ~ dated 1966, 23 pages, by Roberta Harman. Decoupage is an old art, thought to have originated in Venice, Italy in the seventeenth century. The art soon spread to France, England, Germany and many other European countries. Decoupage lasted into the nineteenth century and then faded. It's seeing a resurgence now as scrapbookers and assemblage artists (among others) create beautiful new works of art. And decoupage is also used to revitalize items... lamps, bowls, vases, boxes, trays... you're limited only by your imagination. This guide includes black and white prints which, with a little patience and practice, can be colored to achieve some very interesting effects. Contents and instructions include:
