Up-cycled lamp with gold leaf & decoupage

So some time ago I tumbled upon this old lamp in a charity shop nearby. And while the base of the lamp was lovely, the old paper shade was in need of a makeover!
Believe it or not, this final result is actually plan B, my first idea for it failed miserably haha!
Thankfully, the idea for another route came before I marched it all over to the bin and so I went on to apply gold leaf and fussy cut decoupage paper to give it the treatment it deserved!
And so now it gets to live on my bedside table!
If you would like to try creating one of these yourself, or just want to get your hands on any of the products I used in this project - here's the list!
For those of you living in USA, these are the two stores I recommend that will have most if not all products that you need :)
For those of you in UK, check out this store here - Mad Arches
All of these stores are run by amazing people on a mission to make decoupage and mixed media more accessible to everyone so your support would mean a lot!
Products used :
Pentart Metal Leaf glue
Gold Metal Leaf from Amazon
Decoupage Queen Sweet magnolia rice paper (A4 size) x3 copies
Green acrylic paint (edges)
Pentart Gold Shimmer glaze (edges)
Pentart Glossy solvent varnish (to seal metal leaf and decoupage)

Furniture Up Cycling "Steampunk Table" Class
In this 5 part live streamed class you will learn some of the fundamental techniques and principles used in furniture upcycling.
I showed the process of side table upcycle but the techniques used can be applied to any other piece of furniture you would like to work on.
Not only that - this particular piece of furniture was upcycled 2 times. So there was a challenge of removing previously applied transfers, waxes, and paint before being able to get started with this steampunk look.
If you are unable to source the materials I used in the class - that's ok, you can easily use whatever materials you have access to in your part of the world and/or fit your budget.
As always the aim of the class is to teach you techniques that can be used in many different ways and on many different projects so it's not so much about replicating what you see in the photo as much as teaching you to make it work for YOU.
What you are purchasing is a recording of a Live Workshop I taught for my Patreon Students Back in 2021. Which means you will gain access to the recordings of around 4 - 5 hours of live video footage on Youtube.
You won't just gain access to the videos themselves but also the recorded communication between the students in the chat and myself

In this class you will learn:
- How to prepare furniture for upcycling after it was already upcycled.
- How to remove wax off of furniture
- How to remove rub on transfers.
- How to apply moulds on to furniture
