Summer Home Decor- Anchor

 

 Hello everybody!

 

Today a new Homedecor inspiration.

I used a mixed media board as base and created it in grunge rustic style.

Combined some of my favourite shapes with outcasts from moulds

(lighthouse and boat).

Everything should appear a bit dilapidated, old and forgotten. 

For this look I chose some rust-like colours, complemented with different textures.

Mood Barometer Submarine with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was looking for a special gift idea and had an inspiration. 

 

Especially in today's difficult times, people are not always in a good mood, 

there are good and bad days. 

When I had this ingenious submarine with the 3D effect lying on the table,

 I thought to myself, this must definitely be seen 

and shouldn't disappear in the closet. 

 

So I created a mood barometer for desk with the help

 of two metal threaded rods and a few magnets.

DIY Book Nook with Tuto Tips - 'Steamies Adventures' Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Some time ago I presented you my first Garden Book Nook 

created with Dusty chipboards, it was a gift for a dear gardening friend 

and was very well received. 

Building Book Nooks has become a trendy theme and you can see 

many realistic miniature worlds inspired by great book themes. 

 

I had to build my first blank myself, 

now Dusty Attic has two matching very sturdy book nooks on offer. 

They are just great and inspired me together with the new marine mechanicals 

to create a book nook of a very different kind.

 

This time I chose the maritime steampunk world as a theme and positioned my favourite seahorse, 

(lovingly known here as Steamie 😀😍)

 in 3d optic in the foreground.

 

 

 

I thought about installing two thread rods so that I could fix the individual parts in place.

I tried it out and it works 😀😎

Home Decor Sunken Light with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

It's not new I love fascinating underwater worlds and I love it to try new ideas.

I created a new home decor piece with illumination 

in grunge style with a touch of Steampunk.

 

It's a mix of outcast's making with moulds and airdrying clay,

real starfish, handmade corals

combined with texture and faux rust effects.

 

 

 

 

 

illuminated effect with wire light string

Shadow box - Artist grunge studio

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 As I saw our latest MDF Mini Furniture Kits I was inspired to create

a shadow box in vintage grunge style.

Love this grandfather clock, really awesome and very sweet,

could also imagine in a bigger size for a lot ideas. 

New Kit's are very easy to assemble, with a little glue they are very sturdy.

I have primed them only with a little brown acrylic paint and then highlighted 

with metal wax.  

 

And another great novelty at Calico Craft Parts

you can find here
 new Add On sheets, 

bricks, stones and roof tiles in three different sizes. 

They can be used for a lot of projects,

awesome 3d effects, as you can see

in this project too.

Snail Mail with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was in love from the beginning 

in this realistic looking 3d frame from 

the collection 'Industrial Zone' from 13arts.

It looks so lifelike and the grunge style in rust is really awesome!

 

I used the backside from a canvas as base, 

cut out the centre piece and glue it

on the frame.

Rustic pipelines are also a cutout from this great paper collection,

 Simply put together and lightly overlapped, they look like a real thing,

doesn't it?

 

 combined with some chipboards from Dusty Attic, cutting dies,

flowers and dried floristic materials a perfectly combination for me and my theme

Snail Mail - Botanical Steampunk Garden

I hope I could awaken your imagination and inspiration.

 

Happy creating!
