The first Frost

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 November - that unloved month between golden October with its glowing foliage,

 and the frosty December, that magical but often very hectic time.

 The first frosty November nights  freeze the last summer flowers and Halloween pumpkins 

and cover everything with a soft blanket of snow. 

 This mood inspired me to use a new mixed media board in the shape of a pumpkin. 

In a blue mood, I designed the background with a stencil and acrylics. 

The little forest elf spreads some warmth with her little light in this dark landscape 

covered with hoarfrost.

Opa Gnom

 

Hello everyone!

 

Today I'd like to introduce you to the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest, 

who probably come and go quite often in the big mushroom.

Special Tip

 

You can also make a sitting Opa Gnom from a standing one. 

After all, an old man wants comfort.

Just break the legs twice OMG 😀

and then glue them back together at a 90° angle.

In a mysterious woodland

   

Hello everyone!

 

 Today I present you another newly designed 3d kit. It is a giant mushroom 

(I chose the 3mm version) that can be made as a toadstool or a boletus.

It has become a wonderful autumn table decoration for me, 

creating a charming and cosy atmosphere with the help of a simple electric tea light.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Creative Tip

 

The visible joints on the stem of the mushroom were disrupting the overall appearance,

 so I chose to cover them. 

I decided to use a thicker, monochrome scrapbook paper.

 

 I cut it to size, using the plate left over from pressing out the MDF parts as a template. 

 The paper was then lightly moistened and covered with a wood pattern 

using a 3D embossing folder. 

 

 Then glued on and colour matched accordingly with dry brush technique.
