All Furnishings are completed in-house, start to finish, by Robyn and Dave. Their expertise in custom artistry and carpentry of decorative-functional furnishings has helped Robyn flourish since 1978. Images for Stories on Wood are ever-evolving. You're always insured of quality craft...art reflecting lighthearted reality, as each furnishing tells its own tale. Brushing up on Richer Details Stories on Wood, the newest Robyn furnishing line, features multi-layered art on wood. It's called "Decoupage: the art of decorating surfaces by applying cutouts and coatings with several layers of finish."Mirriam-Webster. And that's pretty accurate, but here it is in detail... After being sanded and covered with several coats of primer, Stories on Wood items are painted in varying tones. Then these shades get coordinated or contrasted with hand-designed laminates. Once the laminate images are puzzled into place, say, around a mirror frame, more textured layers, details and trim are brushed into the story. Many are enhanced with vibrant gold or silver leafing. The furnishings are then coated with clear, UV-rated finish that prevents fading and resists water. Theme. Description. Detail. Character.
