Nautical Steampunk

 Hello!

I created a centerpiece for a themed party and decided in favour of the Steampunk style.

I used an old cardboard spool holder and fixed the frame to the top with some pieces of driftwood. It holds quite well, but for greater stability, I would recommend doubling up the frame. On the bottom, I glued three half cogwheels to create a border. As the chipboards are made of cardboard, they can be easily moulded into shape after being lightly moistened.

Die Rückkehr der Black Pearl

 

Ahoi Piratenfreunde! 

 Ich sah ein grünes Leuchten am Horizont. 👀

Das bedeutet, dass eine Seele aus dem Reich der Toten in die Welt zurückkehrt. 

Hier ist sie: die Black Pearl, wie versprochen.

 Ich habe es wieder einmal genossen, ein altes Buch aufzuwerten. Die verwendeten MDF-Formen wurden  mit ausgestanzten Pappteilen kombiniert, Moulds verwendet für das klassische Piratenzeichen und die Schiffskette, sowie Oktopusarme mit Air drying clay modelliert.

Hello Pirates

 

 Hello !

 Theme parties are becoming increasingly popular, and the wild pirate theme is particularly popular here in the summer. I have created a welcome sign to accompany it, inviting you into the dark, adventurous world of the oceans.

 It's an upcyling project because I used an old wooden sign with the word HELLO shaped out of wire.

Secrets of the Sea

 Hello!

 

 The ship was pulled underwater by the octopus. Sharks circle and guard this grave. 

Experts think it could be the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship

 that was doomed to wander the oceans.

I created a shadow frame in mixed media style, for this I had to completely destroy 

this new pirate ship, omg. It's broken into pieces on the ocean floor, 

but someone will fix it up soon. 😉

He 's a Pirate

 

Ahoy, landlubbers 😀

The black pearl has taken off again, and the pirate adventures continue, at least for now.

 I made a new shadowbox in grunge style with a touch of steampunk from a kit for a paper lantern.

 I used self-produced rust to make everything look as old and cool as possible. 

Even in the dark, it catches the eye; in the green glow, it appears on the horizon, having returned from the underworld to the world of the living.

Steampunk World

 

 Hello!

 

Der Fantasie sind keine Grenzen gesetzt, oder?! 

 und insbesondere das Steampunk-Genre ist eine Welt, in der alles möglich ist, 

weil es eine Welt ist, die es nie gab!

Layered Apothecary cabinet with Dusty Attic chipboards

 

 Hello!

 Today, I thought I'd show you one of my favourite pieces from DA. I've loved this piece since I first saw it. The multiple layers and the wood look I've given it, make it look so real.

 Have you ever tried using embossing folders to change the cardboard chipboards? 

It works really well, you just need to be patient to find the right plates to create the right print. I used the 3D Texture Fades (Sizzix Lumber). So,  how a cheap piece of furniture ended up as a noble oak cabinet.😀

It's become a real piece of jewellery, but it needs to be staged. Maybe on an album cover or a book box of herbal recipes, let's see.
