Altered Book - Diorama Autumn Forest

 

Hello everyone!

 

I enjoy reviving old and forgotten objects, in particular, old books 

that can be transformed into wonderful 3D dioramas. 

Today, to suit the season, I went for a walk in the autumnal forest.
Have you had the opportunity to explore the latest  shapes available in the 

Autumn & Woodland Shapes

collection?

  I can only say that they are enchanting and very inspiring!

 

 

 

 Love the latest

Skeleton, Dead Trees, Stumps & Branches

I used different sizes, sometimes only parts or, for example, 
interpreted 

Bonsai Skeleton Tree

completely new as a tree root.

September Moodboard with Dusty Attic

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 

I'm back with a new layout created with our monthly moodboard inspiration.

 

 Almost every little girl dreams of owning a pair of ballet shoes 

and attending her first dance lesson.

 It's an exciting and tense experience that fills their hearts 

with delight.

 After first lessons, sweetie little girls proudly jump through the park, 

feeling accomplished and happy.

A door to another world

 

Hello everyone!

 

  I was inspired to create a mixed media collage

 on a new mixed media board - The crescent moon.

 

Autumn is here, a sunny time that inspires with its colourful leaves 

but also gives a feeling of sadness as winter draws near. 

This season is also known for being grey, gloomy, and mysterious,

 and it brings along the traditional Halloween festivities.

 


 

 

Initially, I gave structure to the moon by using a stencil and texture medium. 

I created a landscape of craters with silver decosand, which I then coated

 in black gesso once it had dried. However, 

I regret not having taken a photo as what I had done is barely visible now.

Maybe it'll work better next time because this moon is so adaptable. 

With some luck, there will be other moon shapes soon. 😀

Album Summer Memories II

 

Hello everyone!

 

  I  created a sea inspired minialbum as memory on beautiful relaxed days.

 It has been equipped with many flaps, pockets 

and other storage possibilities to keep nice mementos. 

At Dusty Attic I found a lot of small special chipboards that fit perfectly to the sea theme.

 I used them as photo frames, to attach flaps (anchors) and as eye-catchers for decoration.
