After a couple of very quiet months, I’ve sold 2 pieces in 2 days.

The skull cabinet was in the shop for less than a day and will be going to stay local. The shop at Tāmaki Zero Waste Hub allows people to pay over a few weeks to make costs more manageable.

The pale yellow radio cabinet has been waiting a while for her new family and she was carefully protected using an old quilt that wasn’t fit to sell before being driven to Gisborne.

I recently sent another piece to Gizzy which was taken and carefully and very quickly wrapped, by two lovely men from Gisborne Movers.

All ready for Halloween! $525

This scarily awesome chest of drawers has been given the works with decoupaged images on the front and sides, lacquer, coloured washes, paint blending and coloured waxes. The top is finished in black lacquer for protection.

The decoupage front is a WhimsyKel design and the sides are a fantastic skull damask.

This is a high quality solid wood piece whose drawers are spacious and slide very well.

Measurements to follow

Viewing at 153 Pilkington Rd, Panmure.

Can be delivered in Auckland by electric van for a fee.

Here’s another video showing how to decoupage onto a piece of furniture. I’ve gone fully maximalist on this piece for Halloween.

Hi Auckland friends.

I’m advertising this as I shall be running the bottle upcycling session. Come and learn about chalk paint and decoupage, while reusing glass bottles that cannot be recycled. Glass of w**e or soft drink and nibbles provided. Proceeds go to the Chip Packet Project, whose awesome mahi helps protect the homeless from cold and damp.

With Halloween around the corner, this is me using a bespoke mix of The Artisan Company dark wax and Resene blackboard paint to give my skull based chest of drawers more age and depth. You can see how the wax makes the skulls pop on the damask sides. On the front it helps blend the painted surrounding into the decoupaged image.

Ata Marie!

The first vintage frame is completed. It has been cleaned, scuff sanded and painted in a bespoke mix of red chalk paint and lacquer, finished with black wax. I cut down an old mat board to fit and painted that in the same colour.

The ‘circus punk’ picture is a Mint by Michelle decoupage tissue lacquered onto a cut down piece of MDF.

I love that you can take something very tatty and create something completely original from it.

The other pictures are in progress.

Kia Ora e te whanau!

I have been collecting old, often a bit broken, picture frames which can look very sad but are often well made. I have some spare decoupage tissues either left over or bought in recent Mint by Michelle sales from local suppliers: Dooney and Daughters and Paint Me Vintage, so I’ve been trying to match them up.

Some of these papers I’ve used before in pieces and are from before AI was ubiquitous in decoupage designs.

Frames are being fixed and painted and waxed or gilded and pictures added to suit. Finished pieces to follow

Hi everyone!

Sorry I’ve not been posting. I’ve been busy decorating, decluttering and gardening to put our house on the market. If you know anyone looking in the Eastern side of Auckland Central, please pass this on.

My two latest upcycling pieces have come home with me to stage my house which is about to go on sale. The oak desk had pink and white splodged paint all over it, even inside the drawers. The wood was so beautiful, I decided to keep the top natural and make up a sage green for the sides. This was dark waxed to finish. The top was clear waxed to show off its lovely grain. I’ll use coasters for my tea to protect it.

The small oak table/magazine rack was sanded back and waxed.

I’m very happy with how they both turned out. I have two large pieces that came out of my house to refinish and sell.

The gorgeous steampunk lamps were made by Sean from Octalien Creative who uses his amazing imagination to make art from upcycled metal objects.
