Art Journal Cover - Springtime Feelings
Welcome creative friends!
I created a textile collage with leftovers from various fabric and laces
as cover for an Art Journal.
I always love to use the MDF shapes as 3d elements in their original form.
Love this special wood expression, often I also split them
and create new impressions with it.
sewed a small house with different fabrics together
and decorated it with a mini door in grunge style

Night of a full moon with 13arts
Welcome creative friends!
Have you ever experienced the magical aura of the full moon?
I discovered an enchanted figure on a meadow 😀
Was that reality or a dream?
As I saw the amazing background paper 'In the woods'
from the 'Queen of the Night' my imagination was awakened
and I was inspired to create a mixed media layout.
Together with this great Dark Queen motif from this collection
a meadow in moonlight was created.
To make the queen look even more alive, she got a shimmering skirt
made of wide ribbon and small green feathers, as well as transparent wings.
used 13arts products
Besides papers from 'Queen of the Night ' collection I also used
papers and elements from 'Aurora', also a very suitable collection for fantasy stories
in addition transparency foil, stencils, glitter ink and floristic materials
all this products can you find at 13arts
some close up's
I hope I could awaken your imagination and inspiration.
Happy creating!

A Book Nook - what is that?? with Dusty Attic
Welcome creative friends!
In simply terms it's a Book shelf insert or
a Schaufenster im Bücherregal in german 😀.
Most of the time you see these elaborate pieces in connection
with Harry Potter stories, beautiful and enchanting,
but often quite expensive.
I think you can do even more with these book nooks.
I know many who have a garden book library
and to this theme fits these creative idea wonderful too.
You can illuminate it and it is a wonderful gift idea.
I had the courage to make the blank myself out of 3 mm MDF material.
It has the following dimensions: 10 x 19 x 15 cm B/H/T.
You can do that, but it's easier to buy a finished blank.
Dusty Attic doesn't have one yet, but your day may come
😏😃.
It's relatively easy to make,
I used scrapbook paper to cover the walls, a lot of suitable chipboards,
and a mould for the garden path.
some close up's
used Dusty Attic chipboards
Wisteria
Taps
Birds a field
Hanging Potplants #1
Wicker Fence
Poppies #1
Wildgrass #3 Small
Wildflower #6
Juliette Balcony #2

12,3 x 25 x 18,5 cm H/B/T or

If you have any questions
please get in touch I'm always happy to help if I can.
I hope you find inspiration!
