Decoupage Country Painting Stamping & more... by verdesedano

Special creations for special people

I've been loving art since my childhood days, when I started drawing, painting and messing my hands with glue, colors, chalks and whatever I was able to find…

I like to use different techniques but I'm focused on découpage; my love for this technique started at the age of 16, thanks to my friend's mum who loved to decorate boxes and furniture: I was always sitting beside her looking carefully, until one day I asked her to teach me that amazing technique.
I start creating little boxes for myself and my friends, for improve my technique: once I learned the basics, I started reading up my own, buying books, attending classes for learning other techniques until I developed my personal style!

After years of practice and experimentations, when people started to ask me if my creations were on sale and if I could create custom creations, I realized that decorating was not ‘just a hobby’ and that I could make it my job! So, in 2009, I decided to open my shop.

✎ WHY 'VERDESEDANO'? ✎
"Verde sedano" (translated in english: 'celery green') is the italian name of one of my favourite acrylic colours, a very light shade of pastel green (between mint and pistachio) with whom I define a great range of shades of green; for me "celery green" is more than a color: it's an idea that embodies my style, a mix of country and elegance with a touch of freshness and irony.

✎ WORKSPACE, SUPPLIES AND INSPIRATION ✎
I’ve not a real lab (I'd love to have once!) so I’ve dedicated a part of my bedroom as lab! My desk is my workspace, my office, my Kingdom! :P
I organized my tools and supplies in little plastic furnitures, squared stacking shelves and two great plastic boxes to get the best out of a small space!

For my creations I use good quality acrylic colors (I’ve tried many different kinds of colors before I found the perfect one!), wonderful rice paper or thin decoupage paper (I don’t like to use common paper!); I usually choose good quality wooden blank objects and wooden miniatures; sometimes I find blank objects that are beautiful but not very refined, but they don’t scare me! With great love and holy patience, even a object in bad shape may become a unique and wonderful creation!

My inspiration comes from everything that surrounds me! My brain captures every single element and turns it into a unique feeling ... so a book, a movie or a landscape can inspire something that seemingly has nothing to do with the book, the movie or the landscape themselves!

✎ CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! ✎
Every creation (except for housewares) is shipped in a lovely gift box even if it's not a gift for someone: I like to think that every purchase is a gift, even if you bought it for yourself :)

Custom orders are welcome!
If you need more quantity of the same item, I can create them only on request: you can choose the colors and style but I can not reproduce already sold items.
You can find some of my reproducible pieces on my Facebook Fan Page.
