IOD "Little Lark" Paint Inlay by Iron Orchid Designs
***Limited Edition***
8 Sheet Pad, 8" x 12", 3 Colors
Little Lark is our first 8” x 12” small-format paint inlay, created for detailed, smaller-scale projects. The artwork is drawn from the 19th-century book The Bird by Jules Michelet, featuring birds, nests, florals, and pastoral vignettes in a classic toile-inspired layout—full of charming details that you just have to see up close to appreciate.
Rendered in a three-color palette of sepia black, indigo, and soft green—reminiscent of vintage china—it’s perfect for creating your own faux china-style finishes. The set includes frames, wreaths, and borders to help build compositions and define focal areas, offering plenty of creative flexibility. Vignette scenes can be softened by gently moving pigment with a wet brush for a watercolor effect, highlighting one of our favorite qualities of paint inlays.
As a special detail, the beloved cover artwork from this book also appears in our Athenaeum foil transfer.

Handy Tip: Don’t forget that you can get more than one use from the IOD Paint Inlay sheets! Sally loves to batch holiday projects by making at least two at a time, so she has one to gift and one to keep.
Handy Tip: Achieve significantly different looks by changing up the background color the inlays are placed into.
WHAT ARE IOD PAINT INLAYS?
IOD Paint Inlays are ground-breaking, first-in-class, premium art products that will revolutionize the DIY industry and empower creative exploration across all skill levels. In short, they are AH-MAZING, if we do say so ourselves. (Three years in the making so we love them like our kids!)
IOD Paint Inlays are the artisanal answer to decor transfers. They’re not a decal; they’re not a synthetic film; they’re not decoupage.
When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, paint is physically embedded into the surface of your project. After drying, the carrier paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your piece.
HOW DO IOD PAINT INLAYS WORK?
IOD Paint Inlays are made from proprietary artist-quality paints that we formulated specifically for decorative use. Organic in nature, the Paint Inlays transfer the painted design yielding a slightly varied and uniquely beautiful aesthetic each time they’re used.
The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, and often inherently distressed. The paint formula is 'active' until sealed. That means that you can manipulate it and apply special techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece.
