Has anyone ever done a craft/hobby you did years ago and would like to start again but can't get the supplies to do the particular 'craft/hobby'? What would/did you do?

Has anyone heard of the Dutch artist “Anton Pieck” and his prints? He had several different prints that were very detailed and were good for making 3-dimensional pictures out of.

I did this way back in the mid to late 70’s for a few years then the ‘craft/hobby’ seemed to just disappear.

It is called three dimensional decoupage? It is done with several prints of one picture and uses ‘silicone glue’ to layer the pictures. You cut out different parts of the picture and have to use an Xacto knife and possibly tweezers to hold different pieces. IT is very detailed when done and dimensionalised!

I used to use his pictures but can not locate any of them anymore. Does anyone know of another artist that would have similar types of prints to purchase now? I did find one site that will give you an idea of what type I am looking for an a few of his pictures: http://www.west-barnes.co.uk/

Any ideas, sites, suggestions etc. would be greatly appreciated as I really would like to get back into this. I made one into a purse and it even had lights in the picture.
