Annie Modica decooupage trays and lazy susans handmade in the USA. Decoupage is the craft of cutting designs and images from paper, gluing them to surfaces and sealing them with lacquer or resin. The technique is used to produce decorative trays and lazy susans for serving. Each furnishing receives numerous layers of glue, paper, handpainting and, finally, resin sealant. The hand-mixed resin is applied in a special room called "the hole" - where the temperature is maintained at 83.7 degrees and the environment is kept free of hair and particles that might stick to the resin. The overall process takes about two weeks. Now Modica and her crew, working out of a converted 2,000-square-foot Quonset hut in San Rafael's industrial Andersen Drive area, produce hundreds of pieces a year.
