Time Together

Hello creative friends!

The wind whistles round the house, the snow flakes dance in the air and inside

the fire burns and crackles cosily in the fire-place.

A wonderful imagination !!

Inside cosily warm and comfortable and outside crispy cool frost.

The best time to come together!

During the winter months when

vegetation is covered by a thick blanket of snow or if the surface of the snow is very hard

 a winter light must not be missing

 Snuggled up tight it's warmer

 dancing light snowflakes like ballerinas

Altered Book - Winter Night

Welcome creative friends!

I was inspired to create an altered book in vintage style.

I found a very beautiful tissue in my stuff and 

thought that's the perfect background and addition for our latest winter lanterns.

 creative friends :-)

Our January challenge is, as usual...

 

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and encourage everyone to join us each month, whether this is your very first make, or you are an experienced maker, and share your creations. Show us your tags, cards, canvas, Artist Trading Cards/Coins, art journal, altered objects - whatever you can imaging that fits our steampunk/industrial theme. We are in awe of your creative imaginations and use of materials, and look forward to each challenge to see where your creative muse took you. 

 I was inspired to create a wooden sign. 

The way to a new creative year in the Magic Laboratory, where you can find the important ingredients  for a new project  - Ideas - Heart - Hope - Brave .

 The basis was a black background with gesso, then a crackle medium (Weathered Wood from DecoArt) and above  a thick layer of Americana Chalky Finish Paint 'Vintage'.

Magic Winter Nights

Hello creative friends!

My favorite activity for a cold, dark day is spending cozy and fantasy time at my craft table. 

I love it to let my imagination run wild

What can be better :-)?!

I was inspired to create a new fantasy mixed media layout. 

I used a fanciful photo as basic with a dancing girl into the moonlight under the stars.

some close up's

in the centre you can see one of my new fav's, 

it's a magic winter lantern from Calico Craft Parts, 

where I added a hole as candle light

 I created a watercolour background suitable to the colours on the photo

Mixed Media Academy - Winter Love Challenge

I love these cold clear winter nights with bright starry skies.

Christmas Home Decoration

Hello creative friends!

I was inspired to create a christmas gift in vintage style. 

It should remind of the magic of Christmas.

I used

Gothic Mansion / Cathedral I think it looks like a fairytale castle too.

 I only used first Wheathered Wood crackle medium and after drying white gesso in different thicknesses from DecoArt, and at the end a Distress Spray Stain 'Vintage photo' (Ranger).

and one from our latest beautiful street lamps

 I have a soft spot for great iron lanterns and tried to design some.
 That was only possible with the help of Helen,
the owner of Calico Craft Parts,
many many thanks!!!

with Glamour Dust and Snow Writer (DecoArt)

even though we only had a green Christmas in the last years, 

every year we wish a few snowflakes dancing quietly from the sky

more details can you find here

 

if you are interested in another inspiration 

with the new street lamps, you can discover it here 

Merry Christmas all over the world!
