Victorian Decorating Ideas - Hanger For Clothes Or Towels


The last time I wanted to chat so much was many moons ago… Sunny weather fosters the release of positive energy and creative thinking. 

*********

I’ve just joined to a wonderful website with handicraft, “Crafty Blogs”, which is a definite list of crafting blogs in the UK. I’m 471st in the ranking, which I still find very nice. Now, one may imagine how huge the number of craftsmen in the UK is, even though this is only a sample. “Crafty Blogs” is not all; you can also find “Top 50 Crafters” or “Crafty Sales”  the list of small Handmade Craft websites in the UK.

 I become a fan of a great British programme called “Victorian Farm,” broadcasted by BBC2 long time ago.
Although my casual clothes are very classic and my taste in decorating of our spot depends on the season of the year, the programme is an enormous design inspiration for me.  I've been trying to start preparing my huge rustic wall clocks collection, which is to be shown at a nearby gallery, for a long time now, but I lost the feeling in my finger after sculpting in a piece of oak wood which was as hard as a rock. Therefore, I decided to take a break and focus on something different - unique decor and home decorations. 



The hanger I made for the hallway wall or bathroom is not only designed for hanging hats or cotton towels on, but it also comprises an important home decor accessory. I think it can be also treated as a painting made in Victorian style. The whole work was demanding. I made the hanger with the use of a number of decorative techniques: decoupage, crackling, pittorico shading, high reliefs as well as gilding.

Shabby Chic Photo Frame - 3D Decoration


  As far as can I remember there were so many decoupage works which came into being more or less attractive.
Majority went to the bin after a short time of anger and questioning myself why there were so many creases.
I am glad it never saw daylight. There was just one person who used to say ‘what you made is beautiful, don’t throw it away’ but my anger was endless.
This picture frame which I managed to finish not using decoupage came to mind randomly like most of my early craft work.



 

I simply used 3D structural paste which I had a chance to work with later on.
The frame is in shabby chic style. I have aged this using this style to show the signs of wear with red colour for the base and cream on the top.
Ornaments are in the shape of little delicate roses surrounding on each side. 



 
Currently it decorates my former neighbour’s desk.
I was able to dig out only two shots from my old photo gallery.
I’ll tell you more about the shabby chic style soon in my 'TUTORIALS' category. I’m going to decorate three containers for spices.
At the same time you will see decoupage on metal step-by-step. 

See you next....
