Stand Back - I'm cooking

 

Hello creative friends!

 

 

 

 

 I'm cooking

Another tag, as gift idea for a good friend, it now decorates her kitchen. There's a cut-out witch's hat glued to the top, and the witch is of course cooking under a full moon. If you look closely at the hat, you can see that the grim reaper is on his way, and the cat in the lower corner seems also to be quite sceptical. So be careful!

Hexenuhr

 

 Hello!

 

Halloween steht vor der Tür, was bedeutet, dass es die perfekte Zeit für düstere Fantasie ist.

 Ich habe eine Uhr entworfen, die für eine Hexe einfach unverzichtbar ist. 😉

Fly a kite

 

 Hello!

 

 Autumn is here, the first storms have reached us. This is the best time to fly a kite and the best place to do this is, of course, by the sea.

 Our children love to make their own kites, so I thought it'd be a good and creative idea to add two miniature kites here.

I worked with stamps and distress ink on the background, added some leaves made with cutting dies and created a natural look with chipboard and drying plants in the left corner.
 I used white gesso as a base and with different textures and textured materials 
I created an interesting life-like look to the chipboards.

Dog Minialbum with Dusty Attic

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

Have you already discovered the many different new album covers at Dusty Attic?

So many creative possibilities.

 I designed a beautiful dog summer album as a reminder of relaxed holidays by the sea. For the cover, chippies matching the theme of dog and sea were chosen, which were first primed with white gesso. Next, I painted on the dog, accents with silver metallic paint and black outlines to make them stand out more.

Altered Bottle - Witching Hour

 

Hello creative friends!

 

 I was inspired to create again a bottle in altered Art. 

Using the layer technique, I have put together a number of different pieces

 to make an old raven witches' clock with a pendulum.

 I love these old bottles in a dark romantic style, you can just light them up 

and they create a eerily beautiful atmosphere.




 



 used MDF shapes can you find here

Have fun!

Warning ;-) :-)

 

Ich kam, sah und vergaß was ich wollte 😀

das kennen sicher einige von euch auch, oder?!

 

Ich habe diese 'weise' Erkenntnis in eine kleine Hexenküche gepackt

dort geht es zwar leicht chaotisch zu,

aber trotzdem ist es unheimlich gemütlich und einladend.

 

------- I come I saw I forget what I was doing ------

Beware  you are entering a crisis region 👿😂 

 

Today my latest project created with chipboards, it's a funny kitchen sign in rusty grunge style, 
perfect suitable as gift idea for good friends too.
 
I used an old MDF frame from my stuff, love this shape as base, you can use them in many ways.
With the matching chipboards from Dusty Attic, cutting dies -little witches, spider web (Thinlits Sizzix) and some dried nature materials I created a wall sign and attached a piece of string to it to dry herbs from the garden, for example. Of course, you can also attach notes or photos to it.

DA0597 Bottles on a Shelf 
 
  DA3520 Mini Kitchen Utensils 
 
 DA2397 Broken Bits #7 – Distressed Grid
 
 Kitchen utensils and Broken Bits  were created with silver metallic paint
and dry brushed with black or copper acrylic paint.
 
To create a 3d effect, I glued some grey cardboard behind the shelf.

 Once I'd primed the bottles with white gesso, I stuck the cut-out labels on each one 
and then decorated them individually with 3D paint.

Witchy's Barometer

 

Witchy's Barometer has started to rise

Halloween time is soon again
 
Dark romantic fantasy is back in vogue

😀



 

Once you've seen the new Tim Holtz inspirations,

 it's time to bring the dark side of the Force to life again.
 

Today it's a tag with an old weathered barometer 

that functions as a mood barometer.

 It's currently somewhere in between frosty cold and boiling hot. 😈
