Decoupage on tiles

Found plenty in the basement, cheapest, white. Washed, dried and ready to use. 
What I used ?
* tiles
* glue (can be special  for decoupage or decopatch or any other this kind)
* napkin with you favorite pattern
* gold or silver paint in pen or marker
* varnish
* scissors

How I made it ?

  • cut your pattern and remove underneath layers of paper
  • use glue to stick the napkin to the tile (be gentle)
  • wait till dry
  • use silver or gold marker to highlight contours
  • wait till dry
  • apply few (3-7)layers of varnish (coating)

















Why I'm doing ''art''

Hi people, 
I'm not a professional artist, I'm not actually an artist at all. I think I my have a little bit of talent ... just little bit ;-) and spare time.

Never finished any course, training, workshop whatsoever. But because I finished child care and social work and was working for many years with kids with challenging behavior, as well as addicts and in kindergarten I had to or should I say I liked to search book, album and web for new ideas. As a social therapist and art therapist part of my work was listening ant doing ''art''. 
When I got married i quit my jobs (yes jobs) and I totally ''sacrifice'' everything and everybody just for simply being a wife (and being a wife and a mother was always my biggest dreams but about this later). Sacrifice in a good way of course and it was completely my choice. But going to point wanted to say that I forgot I can do ''art'' and I can actually enjoy ...

So after a few years being wife, living in different country I've decided recently to go back to my ''art''. I and my husband are in quite difficult situation in our lifes for over a year now and I was thinking that maybe back to past hobby will help me to relax a little...

I would like to share with you my little ''talent'' ;-)

hope some of u will like it, maybe some of you can find inspiration ...
