Hi I recently went to a demonstration of decopatch, basically its pieces of thin paper and using a special varnish glue you can decorate almost anthing from photoframes to wooden furniture. Just google decopatch loads comes up about it.

I have to admit I thought that was predicative text playing tricks until I googled it! Decopatch is obviously a brand name for a modern twist on decoupage. I've seen lovely cabinets done like that.


All this talk of crafts is making me feel I should do something. Over the years I've done knitting, sewing (clothes and soft furnishings) embroidery and patchwork but I've been lazy recently. Just the thing to keep me occupied over the winter while all the carp programmes are on TV.:)
