Does anyone else do collages? I like to decoupage furniture, and just came upon this cool cut-out book on Amazon.

So I made some Shmowders

if anyone's curious they were made using cardboard heart-shaped boxes, slightly modified with airdrying clay to achieve the correct shape and then decoupaged with green napkins and (pain)ted by yours truly. The whole project only took around 15 hours in total, minus breaks for dry ups so mot too bad overall! I had a lot of fun making them.

You can put your antidepressants candy inside! How convenient!

(btw dla polskich fanów łopato którzy będą na warszawskich targach fantastyki będzie szansa dostania jednego z tych pięknych szproszków, ale o tym dokładniej opowiem we wrześniu pewnie c:)

I really liked how this one came out, hence the off-schedule post, please tell me what you think! By the way, do any of you know of some cool pattern sites? I'd like to try out some new ones hehe. Anyway, I'm gonna go to my gremlin corner to re-read a sdv fic I've been obsessed with lately, see ya!

A reblog goes a long way! Apropos, glad to see that so many of you like the Yuuka piece :D

Hey, don't cry. Gather some fabric scraps, matte Mod Podge, a paintbrush, a hot glue gun, some cool trim, and a lampshade that needs a makeover. Cut the scraps and iron them, then paint Mod Podge on the lamp and stick the scraps onto it in sections until it's completely covered, tucking edges under the lampshade rim. Carefully paint Mod Podge overtop of all the fabric and let it dry. Hot glue any edges that still need tucked or didn't stick as well, and then hot glue the trim around the edges of the lampshade, finishing with a folded edge on the trim for a clean look, okay?

(This only took about an hour and a half and was super fun! My victim was a thrift store lamp.)

My desk got damaged while moving, but I didn't want to be wasteful and throw it out. So I decided to decorate the drawers with a collage instead! I love how it turned out (the top drawer especially).

Collage box collection

After discovering that I had a reasonably big stash of interesting flyers, greetings cards, guidebooks and other bits of ephemera, and seeing this tutorial, I was really inspired to use it all for something.

This was helped by the fact that recently I've found a lot of really nice wooden boxes in charity shops for very cheap - all the ones pictured here were £2. Either I've been extremely lucky, or these things turn up very often and I just haven't been looking for them.

I've posted about some of these previously (here and here), but they were only half done and these pictures are better! Plus there is one new one.

First was this wooden chocolate box. Before...

And after!

You can tell this is my first one as I oversatured the paper with Mod Podge, leading to it bubbling and creasing, but for a first attempt I don't think it's bad at all.

All the pictures I used were taken from an exhibition guide for an event I went to called "Exploring the Gothic" which contained a lot of beautiful pictures. The floral parts were from a pad of scrapbooking paper, which I also used to make the individual compartments (they are origami boxes, see a tutorial for how to make them here) and I then filled them with pieces from my collection of beads, charms, and broken jewellery.

I also had a guide to a William Blake exhibition I'd been to, and since there was an entire plate from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" I had to make it into a miniature wall plaque.

I did this one at the same time as the first, and again you can kind of see that I oversatured the paper which caused it to tear slightly, however thankfully it wasn't in an area where there was any writing.

(BTW, if anyone is interested in the meaning of this section, Blake is describing his creative process, albeit in a fantastical way. This blog post gives a good analysis)

The next one was a beautiful little cabinet with a broken handle.

And here is what I did with it. I kept the collaging to a minimum, only on the inside, though I might add something to the outside in the future. The replacement "handles" are a pair of my earrings!

I used some more of the gothic exhibition guide and scrapbook paper, and also a flyer for a ballet version of Dracula. I need to find some more interesting things to fill it as it currently only contains my resin crow's skull and a miniature book of Tennyson poems. Also my Cthulhu candle gets to sit on top and be worshipped by the skeleton on the right door.

I did much better with the collaging process on this one. I was a lot more patient, used less Mod Podge for each layer and allowed them to dry fully in between, resulting in no tears, bubbles or creasing.

The final and most recent is this plain box. I noticed it originally came from somewhere called "Palmyra Hardware" which instantly made me think of the Palmyra Wolves (I'm a fan of MrBallen and saw him tell the story on his YouTube channel) which gives a pleasantly creepy angle to this one before I even did anything to it!

After collaging

The central image on the outside is another William Blake painting, an illustration to Dante's Inferno, which includes the famous quote "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here". The writing saying "The way, the truth, the life" came from a religious leaflet that a friend of mine was forcibly given, and which he ripped to shreds, but I saved this part because for some reason I liked it.

Inside we've got a very famous Blake painting called "The Ancient of Days", the praying skeleton again as this image was reproduced several times in that guidebook, and a block printed demon from a handmade birthday card that a friend gave me several years ago. I'm very pleased to have finally been able to use him for something!

I've enjoyed making all of these immensely and no doubt I will do more in the future as I collect more papers and find more nice boxes 😊
