Decoupage the Traditional Way

In this Dover publication Hasbrouck Rawlings brings together a myriad diverse prints for hand coloring and black and white techniques. The few colored prints included are not very useful and are of poor quality, but the wide variety of engravings have something for most decoupeurs. The instructions on how to begin are very traditional and do not take account of the latest advances in the hobby - such as "New Decoupage" by Durwin Rice. Even so, both beginers and more advanced students are likely to find this source book inspirational - especially if you are keen to hand color your work and want a "period" feel. Good value for money but not a first book for beginers.

It is about time

I Haven't yet recieved my copy I Ordered , but I have borrowed my friends copy of "The Big Picture Sourcebook" often. This book has great and easy pictures and simple hints in it. They also have a section of ideas on crafts. I can't wait to get my own so I can stop having to borrow. Also for those who are new to decoupaging, they make the pictures easy to use and really help you through the process. I also find any clip art books published by Dover a really great source for decoupaging.
