'Venetian Stucco" Decoupage / Decupaj " Stucco Venetiano"

I like old handcrafts because they are telling story; they are a statement of bygone eras and a piece of their creators soul. This is a simple wine bottle but ,being inspired by the pattern of the decoupage paper, I got the idea to give it a vintage noble look like this faux Venetian Stucco .
I did the same way with the two little boxes that you are seeing in the images.

Imi plac lucruile vechi facute de mana pentru ca spun o poveste; sunt o marturie a vremurilor apuse si o parte din sufletul celui ce le-au creat. Aceasta este o sticla simpla de vin, dar fiind inspirata de modelul hartiei decoupage, mi-a venit ideea sa ii dau o infatisare nobila si veche, precum acest aspect fals de Stucco Venetiano.

La fel am procedat si cu cele doua cutiute pe care le vedeti in imagini.

I've almost forgot I received an award from Mihaela on her blog

Thanks for your recognition and your friendship Mihaela!

Still life, decoupage and handpainting / Natura moarta, decupaj si pictura

I created these home decorations thinking about Christmas gifts and the cozy atmosphere Christmas Eve.




Apples, cinnamon, walnuts, hot wine , you know the rest...

I just love how it came out! The combination of brown shades and golden shadows... what else can be more warmly?

Am creat aceste decoratiuni cu gandul la darurile de Craciun si la ambianta confortabila a Ajunului de Craciun.

Mere, scortisoara, nuci, vin fierbinte... restul il stiti.

Imi place cum a iesit! Combinatia de nuante maronii si umbre aurii... ce altceva poate fi mai calduros?

Decoupage Vintage Bottle / Sticla Vintage Decoupage

Or shall I say flower vase... In any case this home decoration was beeing very admired at the Handmade Fair that I attended this week-end. I have been asked for several times if it is handpainted.




In any case , it looked very well on the table sitting beside two candle holders which have been decorated in the same manner, by me, of course.



So, I sold it, and I was feeling obliged to make another one similar to this, not like this.


A change of registry; I hope that bodes well.
