Use the art of decoupage to enhance the beauty of your gourd art.

Decoupage is an art form originating in the 17th century. Master artists in Italy imitated Oriental lacquer furniture by enhancing prints and fixing them to furniture. They were then shellacked. England and France copied the form and made beautiful works of art. There has been a resurgence of interest in the art of decoupage throughout the world.

JW etc's Decoupage Plus allows the artist to create a work of art by sealing and adhering an image or images onto almost any kind of surface . Decoupage Plus can be painted on, sponged on, or layered with additional artistic work. When dried covering the work with a depth of varnish allows the composition to glow through.

Each artist develops his/her own style. These are not pictures that are just stuck on with Decoupage Plus, but, with little effort, can become works of art.

Decoupage Plus differs from most decoupage products because it is thick and yet gives plenty of time to work with the image before it dries. It is clear and if brushed on, doesn't leave brush strokes. The consistency lets you work with many textures, from napkins to heavy fabrics.
