My first decoupage hair brushes

This is how I spent my late summer vacation in the city - creatively! I've made these decoupage hair brushes two during one of the little summer family decoupage workshops I've already written about.
Ovako sam ja provela svoj godišnji odmor u gradu - kreativno! Ove dve četke za kosu ukrašene dekupaž tehnikom sam napravila na jednoj od naših malih porodičnih radionica o kojima sam već pisala.

I've seen others doing decoupage on plain wooden hair brushes and having had a couple in my repro stack, I've decided to give them a try. I was also insipred by my aunt Marina's work and the decoupage hair brushes that she had made before.
Viđala sam da ljudi rade dekupaž na običnim drvenim četkama za kosu i pošto sam imala nekoliko u mom šteku reporomaterijala, odlučila sam da probam. Inspiracija mi je takođe došla i od moje tetke Marine i dekupaž četki koje je ona već pravila.

What I did with the brushes is good old napkin decoupage with some additional acrylic colours, glitter, 3D gels and ribbons. I must say that I LOVED making these brushes, they might be my favourite objects to do decoupage on. They are so much fun, give lots of space for creative solutions and new ideas, and they also make great gifts. I've made a couple more on other workshops and I also plan to do new ones these days. You'll see them soon!
Četke sam radila u staroj dobroj salveta tehnici sa dodatkom aktilnih boja, glitera, 3D gela i trakica. Moram da kažem da mi se MNOGO dopalo ukrašavanje četki, čak bih rekla da su mi postale omiljeni predmet za dekupaž. Zabavne su, ostavljaju prostora za kreativnost i nove ideje, a takođe su i odlične kao pokloni. Pored ovih, napravila sam još nekoliko a planiram da pravim još par novih u skorije vreme. Uskoro ćete imati priliku da ih vidite!

I've sorted out the mail!

Cheerful coasters (napkin decoupage)

Cheerful coasters done in napkin decoupage technique on cardboard. I love this napkin and its colorful pattern. It inspired me to make the back side of coasters in different colors and with different flower motif so that they remain true to playfulness of colors.
Veseli podmetači rađeni u salvetnoj dekupaž tehnici na kartonu. Obožavam ovu salvetu i njen šareni dizajn. Ona me je i inspirisala da zadnje strane podmetača napravim u različitim bojama i sa različitim cvetićima tako da u svakom pogledu ostanu veseli i šareni.

Also, probably the longest coasters in the making ever - I've started working on them in spring and finished them in fall. That's how much time I have for my creative work these days (moping sound). In the meantime, a friend of mine for whom I've made these, got another fabulous set of decoupage coasters and now she has two. In my opinion, one can never have enough coasters, so no real problem there.
Takođe, ovo su verovatno najduže pravljeni podmetači u istoriji - započeti u proleće a završeni na jesen. Eto koliko u poslednje vreme mogu da se posvetim kreativnom radu (šmrc). U međuvremenu je drugarica kojoj sam namenila ove podmetače dobila drugi pedivni komplet podmetača takođe u dekupažu i sada ima dva kompleta. Ali podmetača nikad dosta, ako mene pitate, tako da mislim da to i nije neki problem.

PS. Winnie loved them so much, he just had to be in a picture. :)
PS. Viniju su se podmetači toliko svideli, da je morao da se uslika sa njima! :)
