Great decoupage book!!

This is a really great book to have. The pictures are beautiful and there are lots of little elements tucked away on each page that makes the book even more useful. In addition to all the other excellent prints, the authors have also included the prints that were used for the items in their photographs.I have made the soldier book-ends. The directions were very easy to follow. My wife is now working on the Christmas decorations.Many thanks to Davis and Cooper for a wonderful book!

Excellent Presentation!!

This was a great book! The presentation and abundance of prints is excellent. I have been playing with decoupage for some time and I found that this book has inspired me to do more and more. I found the collection of prints very helpful in both planning and enticing new projects out of me. The variety of prints and the clear and precise information would be helpful to anyone working in decoupage or just beginning. This author has really given me the additional boost I needed! Thanks Dee for a great book and your good work. I look forward to more!Allen

Great, usable prints!

I have bought a lot of prints in my time decoupaging and I have to say that someone has finally done this right! I love this book. I have used tons of the prints (there is a terrific selection) and have made some really beautiful pieces.The format is clear and easy to use, good for beginners or for more experienced people. There is a wide variety of material so that if you don't like one theme, there isn't too much of it.I hope there is a second volume on the way soon b/c I am almost out of inspiration!

Prints,Prints and More Prints

"The Decoupage Gallery" is the perfect title for a book that contains a vast array of prints and ideas. The variety and range of these 1000 color and black and white prints extend from antique cigar labels to victorian scrap, from oriental themes to cupids, bows and more. And to top it off, there is an excellent selection of borders! But what I really appreciated was the fact that they are printed on one side of the page for easy copying. I have used the prints for the following crafts: · decoupage · collage · even in my scrapbooking projects! And for those of you who need inspiration, the book includes numerous techniques, instructions and some wonderfully creative projects that use the prints in this book. I think this is a really great book for everyone, no matter what your skill or which paper art you work in. You can definitely get a lot out of it. Thanks Dee!!
