Woop! Valentines Day Giveaway!! Because we want to spread the 'decoupage love' far and wide, we're having a small but perfectly formed giveaway!

Hop over and 'like' the Greenock Institute of Decoupage page (if you've already like us you're ahead of the game!), then 'like' this post, share it with your friends and comment on whether you'd like a 'Broons' or 'Vintage Comic Strip' badge! Easy peasy!! We'll draw names out of the special rainbow hat at 8pm this evening and then we'll message 10 lucky folk for their address; they'll be sent a beautifully handcrafted decoupage badge to wear with pride on their lapel (or you could give it to your Special Someone ❤️)

Happy Valentines Day - share that love!! ❤️💜💙💚💛

Sunday decoupage - wee vintage comic strip hearts and the finishing touches to a 2000AD mirror!

07/01/2017

So, vintage 2000AD comic annuals arrive this morning, not only making me squeak with excitement, but the first one I open has my all time favourite 2000AD character 'Rogue Trooper' as the lead story strip. Got to be a good sign! New projects - beautiful, big keepsake box and a mirror - and a trip down memory lane!! A great way to spend a damp Saturday afternoon.
