Autumn fun

Hello!

today a little tag with a fun idea. 

Our children loves walk through the forest, the rustling of leaves 

and collect forest fruits.

You know you can make butterflies or dragonflies from maple seeds (nose maple)?

I wanted to try how it act with acryl metallic paints and I was amazed how well this works.

  Tips & Tricks

 I used three nose maple -

 2 adhere to each other and 

the 3. break on two and glue reversed

ART - My World

Welcome!

I was in love with the new transparency sayings from Scrap FX,

 they are exactly rightfor my art journal

ART - My world

 I drew a young woman, a dreamer in gray everyday life

which is inspired from nature and all the beautiful things of the world.

She loves the freedom

a space to develop their creativity and put their ideas into practice.

Halloween idea with Graphic 45

Welcome!

Yes, I'm a Halloween fan, I love the mystic romantic dark side.

Today I have made a centerpiece for a table decoration.

as basic.

 

I cut beautiful motifs and added some suitable details

Bat, pumkin, black gaze, witch broom.

Made with love

Hello!

Today a Layout,  a quite different example. 

Our children loves to help her aunt in the kitchen, no joke :-)

However they want always baking.

 
Even when something is required very quickly -

we make rainbow cupcakes or easier

 vanilla cupcakes.

The best of all is licking the spoon

and playing with colors.

Afterwards my kitchen is a pigsty ;-)

but they had a lot of fun.  

 It' a real delight for all!

Let time stand still

Welcome!

A new project for our SASPC Steampunk DT 

with monthly theme

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

I decided to make a project in industrial style. 

It's a new cover for my timer.

 

I used an embossing folder for the background, 

a very thin coat masking fluid over it

(this technique can you find under Andy Skinner's workshops) 

and some acrylic fluids.

some metal embellishments were painted also with acrylic fluids, 

a little hand was made with a mould and dry clay,

 together with some old clock pieces.

A new canvas with a vintage Jeans touch. It's a fabric paper collage.

 Blue and smart brown tones is such a lovely combination

from Tim Holtz also from old jeans fabric (it works very good) 

 and some chipboards from Dusty Attic, 

stamped on background of paper and ribbon pieces.

A beautiful  photo that remember me on my childhood,

but all the same, however I was in garden and nature out and about.
