Painting on glass, fabric, wood

Recently, many harmless hobbies have been added to traditional knitting and sewing, which a person with taste can master, but without special education. Here are some of them.

Decoupage

The technique of decorating wood, fabric, tableware (from the French decoupage – “carving”) is now experiencing a real boom.

This is a kind of application with ordinary napkins.

The result is the effect of a hand-drawn painting that will decorate a chest of drawers, a tray, and a lamp shade.

• Material: paper napkins with an interesting pattern, scissors, special glue, varnish, acrylic paints.
• Process: a drawing cut from a napkin or tissue paper is glued onto a pre-primed object, varnish is applied on top.

In ancient times, the secret of glass painting was carefully guarded. Various types of clay were mixed with vegetable oils to create a rich palette of colors. Now, in any store for artists, you can buy everything you need to create a unique piece.

• Material: vase, glass, glass, mirror or just glass, liquid for degreasing, contour paste and transparent paints for glass or cold ceramic painting.
• Process: after cleaning and degreasing the surface, a contour of the pattern is applied from a tube with a special nozzle. After 5-6 hours, when it dries up, you can start painting.

It is also a fascinating and rewarding business. Why not create a silk scarf or even the dress of your dreams?

• Material: batik paints, hoops to fix the fabric, brushes, a regular pencil or a phantom pencil (they apply a drawing that disappears after washing), fabric (traditionally silk, veil, chiffon, crepe de chine, cotton, linen are used).
• Process: after the contour of the pattern is applied to the fabric, those places that should remain unpainted are reserved: they are covered with hot wax (“hot batik”) or rubber glue (“cold batik”). The fabric is then immersed in the dye and, after dyeing, the wax or glue is removed.
