The book follows the development of decoupage from the lacquer furniture finishes of China and Japan, to the traditional hand-coloured black and white style, through to the Victorian Romantic and whimsical style which is popular today. New and modern designs are also featured. This book is designed to provide inspiration for experienced decoupage artists who want to create his or her own designs, as well as for beginners who wish to use the designs of the author.
