How To Decoupage
I appreciate the how, yet it is the artist and the art catching the eye. Having explored this venue once before in an academic setting it was not the hobby, it was the surrealism of expression studied. From a distance pictures are painted defining the surrounding space with chosen objects such as the bottle or the 'boring' box offering treasures to the subconscious mind. Oddly, and at times, the awareness of the conscious see just the box, a butterfly, yet miss the dream, the vision, the illusion of newness with a smile.
A glimmer of hope of tomorrow is shared, a twinkle in each little girls eye, a constant running thread in this masterpiece presented. The sphinx says read between the lines, while remembering the how-to. The illusion offered with the space leaves the reader with the grace of imagination offering mercy, which frees the observers soul to envision the flight of each butterfly. Soon, a garden is seen, a child at play with friends, those butterflies, whose softness of flight was once a silly cocoon, And, before that a munching bandit of leafs turned slowly like a rhyming fable told at night of a princess, a castle, and few less homeless pets.
