What is DÉCOUPAGE?

 

Decoupage (or découpage) is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf and so on. Commonly an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cutouts from magazines or from purpose-manufactured papers. Each layer is sealed with varnishes (often multiple coats) until the "stuck on" appearance disappears and the result looks like painting. The traditional technique used 30 to 40 layers of varnish which were then sanded to a polished finish.

什麼是蝶古巴特??

 

蝶古巴特是一項裁剪紙張，以裱貼為製作方式的工藝技術，在歐洲已流傳近三百年，在十七世紀時一度曾是歐洲貴族常見的居家家飾品。說起這簡單的拼貼技術來源淵源流長，嚴格說起來，它還深受東方漆器的影響，稱得上是東西文化交融的工藝結晶。

 

一個古老的技術不因時代的進步而被淘汰，一定有它存在的價值。在今日環保意識的提昇，舊物回收的觀念的推廣，大眾需要的就是蝶古巴特這種簡單的拼貼技術，加上自我巧思，發掘舊物的潛質，重新打造利用，尋找舊物新的存在價值，讓地球少一個垃圾，多一個生活精品。將這種化腐朽為神奇的精神延伸在每一個改造的角落，讓蝶古巴特成為居家佈置的好幫手。
