Another great podcast Simon - can’t wait to hear about this year’s Birthday challenge.
I just listened for the first time and loved every minute,now I,m off to listen to Shakespeare and look at the blog photos, and no I don’t like doing decoupage either
I dont do a lot of decoupage but I do enjoy it. I agree that the shopping channels are cashing-in a bit but the best thing to do is buy a CD with lot of decoupage on it and you can print out just as much as you need. Each to their own Simon, as much as I like using the inks, some of it just looks plain messy ( now I am getting controversial!!) so let the decoupage devotees get on with it- they do some lovely work.
Another fine podcast, Simon, full of interesting topics. I appreciate your tips on altered art - I may give it a go although I don’t have ANY of the inks etc you mentioned. Re decoupage - I do enjoy the occasional bit of cutting out and sticking down, but I wouldn’t actually call it a ‘craft’ - it is just a technique, and can be very effective. I was pleased, at first, to hear you make mention of the Pet Forum, but now realise you slipped in a tiny admonishment - clever Uncle Simon!! I’m off to check on the blog. Cheers X
Another brilliant episode Simon, i love decoupage so i get it
looking forward to the next birthday challenge the last one was great fun xx
Nice musical touches Simon! Decoupage is something I rarely do, but I decided to do decoupage cards for my relatives last christmas. Amazingly everybody loved them! The rabbit/birdy/squirrel snow scene one I did, especially for my bunny loving sister, was really lovely! I was so impressed that I have vowed to make more of them!
another brilliant podcast Simon - many thanks for that, I enjoyed listening as I was crafting. I used to do loads of decoupage and even made a living from it for a couple of years buying papers in bulk from Holland and selling here before you could get it easily. But must admit I am fast going off it and rarely do it now despite having a very large drawer full of papers I will probably never use. There are so many new styles evolving now I think we all change our styles and techniques on a regular basis which helps to keep our crafting fresh and pleasurable.
Another great podcast Simon, really enjoyed it! I think decoupage is relaxing and satisfying and when you want to do a bit of crafting but don’t want to create a great big mess it’s perfect! Looking forward to next time xx
Enjoyed listening to you again Simon while I wa busy decoupaging a wedding card!
Brilliant 2nd episode Simon. Do tend to agree with you re decoupage and am into more creative stamping etc., However, many do enjoy it - suppose that is why we are all so individual in our tastes as it makes for an interesting topic. Love all the new and innovative technics which are progressing and your talk certainly gives everyone an insight into these. Well done!!
