More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Contemporary decoupage works are made with family photographs, magazine clippings, handmade papers, or any other image that strikes the artists fancy. Decoupage is a great way to get your cherished memories out of the scrapbook and on display, using them to make over flea-market finds and create one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories for your home. After a brief history of the art and a review of the fundamental techniques of modern decoupage, author Durwin Rice offers complete instructions for more than 18 unique projects - both simple and more challenging - from a delicate vase to a dining room table. You can also transform entire rooms by decoupaging doorways, mantels and even ceilings.

This book was written in a very likeable way, I really like Durwin Rice's sense of humour.
The methods he uses and his instructions are very comprehensive and easy to understand.
He doesn't leave any stone unturned.
However, his examples and photographs were for the most part classical Victoriana and older periods. I would have liked to have seen more examples of modern items suitable for decoupage, especially
furniture. The art deco period being very much in demand at present
plus more modern furniture up to the present day.
Apart from that I really enjoyed his work. Thanks Durwin.

A design book I'll actually use!
13 Jan 2000
Format:Hardcover
I saw the author in a short TV segment and sprung for the book. I highly recommend it! I'm not a particularly craftsy person, but the book's organization gives you confidence. It's laid out starting with very simple projects and progresses logically to more complex ones as you build your skill level. The photos are clear and helpful. The text directions are easy to follow and even humorous! I actually finished the beginner project and it came out great - it's now hanging in my kitchen! I've got a few more projects to go before I start on that table, but I've started to collect the images I want to use & am already starting to lay out the design.

Cuts to the chase!
30 May 2004
Format:Hardcover
I purchased Leslie Linsley's Decoupage, Design, Create, Display and Durwin Rice's New Decoupage at the same time and received Leslie's book first. I was somewhat put off by her style. . .too foo foo for me. Her book was more like an art book showcasing her travels to other countries. Yawn.
Durwin's book gets to the point and says it like it is. All of his techniques work! The suggestion to "relax" the image before applying is awesome!
His humorous approach will have you in stitches. If you want a no-nonsense step-by-step approach to decoupage without the fluff then buy this book first!

Style, Daring and a Touch of Humour
5 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
Durwin Rice is that very rare bird - an artist with a sense of humour. In his book,"New Decoupage" Rice inspires both enthusiasts and newcomers to the art to throw off conventional thinking and make for themselves a future antique. He avoids anything twee and brings a fresh eye to his passionate love affair with paper and scissors. Through his very user-friendly web site Rice gives personal guidance to anyone needing advice. Many of the glass plates used in the book can be bought by mail from this excellent support site. I found this book refreshing, funny, inspiring and a great bedtime read.
