The IOD Petits Parasols Paint Inlay is a menagerie of curious and fantastical birds gliding through winding paths sheltered by a thousand tiny parasols. IOD Paint Inlays are the artisanal answer to decor transfers. They are not a decal, they are not a synthetic film, and they are not decoupage. When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, artisanal paint is embedded into your surface, and the paper in removed, leaving an authentic paint design and a buttery, almost leather like surface on your piece.
IOD paint inlays are made from a proprietary artist quality paint, which we formulated specifically for decorative use. They are organic in nature, and the transfer of the painted design will be slightly varied and unique for each application. The results are visually interesting, texturally complex and in many cases inherently distressed. The paint formula is ‘active’ until sealed. This means that you can manipulate it and apply special techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece. As if once isn’t enough, you can often get a beautifully faded, second impression with the residual pigment on your ‘leftover’ paint inlay sheets. Depending on the techniques and colors you are using with your paint inlay, sometimes even a third impression is possible!
IMPORTANT NOTE: for best results with basic application, use a chalk type paint which does not contain polymers. (Polymer-based paints and topcoat can be used, but the timing and results vary, so check out our tutorials for that and more special technique videos.)
