Birthday wishes cards with Dusty Attic chipboards

 Hello!

 A few personalised birthday cards were needed for a dear gardening friend. 

She loves lavender, just like me. So I designed these to match the theme

 with a few chipboards as an additional eye-catcher.

Picture Frame - Hello Friend

 

 Hello!

 

Today an upcycling project, it was an old wooden frame, now it's an eyecatcher

 where you can add an special photo or an wise saying. 

I decorated it with a nautilus from a fantasy Steampunk land 

and supplemented the nautilus with a kelp, split in the centre, 

this is how wonderful tentacles were created. Chain was made with the help of a mould,

 on the body I added two cogs, a capnut and a thin metal ornament.

Nautical Steampunk

 Hello!

I created a centerpiece for a themed party and decided in favour of the Steampunk style.

I used an old cardboard spool holder and fixed the frame to the top with some pieces of driftwood. It holds quite well, but for greater stability, I would recommend doubling up the frame. On the bottom, I glued three half cogwheels to create a border. As the chipboards are made of cardboard, they can be easily moulded into shape after being lightly moistened.

Die Rückkehr der Black Pearl

 

Ahoi Piratenfreunde! 

 Ich sah ein grünes Leuchten am Horizont. 👀

Das bedeutet, dass eine Seele aus dem Reich der Toten in die Welt zurückkehrt. 

Hier ist sie: die Black Pearl, wie versprochen.

 Ich habe es wieder einmal genossen, ein altes Buch aufzuwerten. Die verwendeten MDF-Formen wurden  mit ausgestanzten Pappteilen kombiniert, Moulds verwendet für das klassische Piratenzeichen und die Schiffskette, sowie Oktopusarme mit Air drying clay modelliert.
