Geisha

One of the 6 themes that come out in inverted form for doors! This theme copies old engravings depicting a geisha, the traditional entertainer at the gatherings of the nobles and the rich of the last century in Japan. The geishas with the characteristic appearance that consisted of a long luxurious kimono, wonderful architectural hairstyles and particularly intense make-up were educated, well-known in literature, music and dance arts and wonderful interlocutors. Some of them have received the excellent title of “living treasures of tradition” from the Japanese government

This theme replicates ancient japanese printworks of 1800 depicting Geishas, ​​a class of female Japanese performance artists and entertainers trained in traditional Japanese performing arts styles, such as dance, music and singing, as well as being proficient conversationalists and hosts. Their distinct appearance is characterized by long, trailing kimono, traditional hairstyles and oshiroi make-up.

MINT decoupage papers are all specially designed for furniture decoration and wonderful transformations. Each design is available in two sizes A1 and A3 and printed on thin paper specially made for decoupage. MINT decoupage papers have been meticulously selected to make sure that your creations will be turned into works of art!

The ideal paper size and printing have been carefully curated by Michelle, owner of MINT, and is the culmination of years of work with decoupage paper and furniture transformations for the sake of uniqueness, style and artistic perfection.

All the themes and the quality of the paper itself have been chosen very carefully keeping in mind the artistic part of the creators. The goal is to be able to create furniture that is as authentic as possible and the decorations with MINT decoupage paper look like real paintings on your furniture and thus make it a work of art. So depending on the method you use, you can have completely different results – direct application of the paper will result in your paper being slightly wrinkled (but flat) which helps as an effect to make your piece look authentic ( as if you had painted it). While ironing it will lead to a completely flat and ‘clean’ effect on your furniture.

MINT decoupage papers come with understandable instructions but you can see application methods by Michelle herself (company owner) here https://mintbymichelle.com/blogs/news/how-to-apply-a-decoupage-paper-the-quick-and-easy-method

We recommend using the glue for decoupage Annie Sloan Image Medium and for a final finish you can either use the same product or for greater durability Annie Sloan Lacquer (Gloss or Matte) varnish.
