Dusty Attic June Moodboard

 

 Hello everyone!

 

Our monthly Moodboard inspired me to create a mixed media layout

 suitable to beginning of summer, best time for holidays on the sea.

 Beautiful memories of sunsets by the sea, walks on the beach, 

or playing with the dogs.

Hello Summer

   Hello everyone!

 

I was inspires to create a wooden writing to beginning of summer. 

Love the weathered wooden style it fits perfectly to the feeling of salt water,

 healthy sea air and the fascinating underwater world.

 

You can find a lot of suitable theme shapes in the section

Aquatic & Marine Shapes at Calico Craft Parts,

 

my favourites are coral and seaweed shapes.

 

 

 

 - chose a coral in big size and divided it into individual pieces

 - shapes were primed with white gesso, sprinkled with micropearls,

 then coloured with brown spray paint

-after drying, finished with dry brush technique

BOOK NOOK Magic Forest

 

  Hello everyone!

 

I was inspired again to create a new book nook. 

Maybe you remember the last one- Fairy Forest House,

today a secret door in a mystical forest.
