What is that craft where you layer pictures ontop of one another? I know it's something like "voo-dob-tique"

Question

You use sillicon to make the layers look 3D, and you need 3-5 of the same picture to start your basic craft. It is called something like "voo-dob-tique"... but I need the correct spelling. A site that tells you how to do it would be nice as well. Thank you n_n

Oi... it's not Decoupage, people! I think it's vu d'optique or something like that. Thank you for the help though... can anyone find a website in a Do it Yourself style format for vu d'optique? It is a craft that uses layering the same picture ontop of itself a few times in order to make it look 3D. You can use silicon to space out the layers.

Answer 1

Vue Optique or d'Optique prints are also known as "perspective prints" - I am not sure if that's what you're talking about though. They were prints of "far away" cities and places that people used to look at through a special viewer. If you google Vue Optique, you'll see examples.

I do think I know what you're talking about cause my Gran had a picture in her house where you could see several layers of the same picture to give it a 3-D effect. It looked like her layers were separated by some sort of foam or other material in small squares.

I did a preliminary search and came up with something called "paper tole". That might be it. I'll put a link below!

Answer 2

I don't know about using 3 to 5 of the same pictures to start, and using silicone adhesive to make layers look 3-D.

However, as a lad we used to have hours of fun making "glue-layered art" collages, which were called Decoupage'.

Decoupage' art later became grouped in a category of art forms that came to be known as "Multi-Media Arts", because in addition to using a white glue to glue magazine and newsprint images, black & white & tin type photos, drawings, and other print images together on a backing board of Masontie, Canvas, or paste-board, we used different watercolor washes, acyrilic paints, gesso to build up bias relief areas, and even glued on applicques' to create more interest, and signature individuality.

But again this art form - or "craft" was called De Coupage', (pronounced "Day-koo-PA-schhhzzz". It was very popular in the 60's and early 70's, and some of the "Art" produced is quite spectacular. This is a fun and easy craft, - albeit somewhat messy; but very tactile and is great for children & adults alike. Have'nt tried it? Give it a shot.
