Thanks to the Durwin Rice people for the detailed description of plate and illustration selection. Now I hope to be included in the next step - GLUING. A number of years ago I tried the popular fad of sticking wine labels on the wooden covers of ladies handbags. However, not knowing about decoupage, I used a marvelous product called DECAL-IT. This paste allowed you to turn any printed image into a flexible
dye transfer. I ended up doing bathroom walls with images as big as posters. Years later, searching the world of Google, it was as though DECAL IT had never existed...so I found decoupage. Now I hunger for the next steps. I have seen hobby plates that are miracles of the process which I think DURWIN RICE is describing. Please keep them coming.

I have been decoupaging for 1 year but not the cut and paste style . I have been adhering 1 complete printed image on various shaped plates( designed on the computer for that particular shape and size plate printed on rice paper..using clear wallpaper paste. I have had lots of luck with this.My new image is printed on white presentation paper and I have tried lots of combination of white glue, wallpaper paste, liquidtex but I am getting lots of shinies and blotchiness...Any help out there in blog land? I have been using a plastic squeegee to remove bubbles and excess glue...unclear as to how much glue should be removed and if i need to use glue on both image and glass?
