De'chirage Mixed Media Abstract Art
De'chirage is a French torn paper art technique that has been discovered and developed by me—Debra Amerson. It is the perfect medium for abstract art enthusiasts who want to ultra customize objects and aspects in your home or business. My new art twist on this French technique is actually my way of creating Green Art by layering torn paper into a custom art piece with a touch of paper recycling. Here are the 5 tips that you should know about De'chirage,a French form of paper assemblage: 1. It is like a painting done on paper by haphazardly ripping images apart in order to create an art. Hence, it supports an eco-friendly living by reducing, reusing, recycling, and rethinking. You can make your home a healthy beautiful sanctuary by incorporating greener products and materials. 2. With the French torn paper technique, you are actually re-purposing. With De'chirage, you give new life to an old object found within or outside your home. 3. This French art technique also helps you to re-vision your home as a new place where you can de-stress and have a more comfortable lifestyle. 4. Re-covering is the primary purpose of De'chirage. Transform walls, bedroom headboards, 3 d objects—whatever! This revolutionary art method will make your space more interesting, colorful and inviting. 5. This French ripped paper technique called De'chirage is perfect for re-models. Why not ultra customize a kitchen backsplash, a bathroom wall, art for the living room, bedroom, or home office.
