The Big Pumpkin

 

 Hello everyone!

 

😍👍  Calico Craft Parts is offering new 3D kits. 😍👍

 

 

I began with a large pumpkin which was very easy

 to assemble with the illustrated instructions provided.

 

Except for the two ribs that represent the house, 

you can arrange the individual ribs as you wish.

 I have only added a ghost, a cat, and a few autumn leaves.

No matter if you add colour to it or not, it always looks fascinating 

and is  definitely an eye-catcher in any autumnal interior design.

 

 

 

Pumpkin Haunted House - MDF Wood Kit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I chose to paint the pumpkin using simple acrylic paints, 

taking care not to make it too colorful 

but instead to give it an old, decayed, and mysterious look. 

To achieve this, I thinned the colors and let them run freely, 

creating a natural appearance.

 I primed the house with a crackle medium, which resulted in fine cracks.

 

 

With extra lighting, it becomes attention-grabbing in the darkness. 

You may use electric tea lights, illuminate the background with a string of wire lights 

or place a colour-changing light bulb behind it.

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!

Autumn Discoveries with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

The play of colours of the Indian summer attracts us into the outdoors,

 warming sunbeams, rustling leaves and this special scent that only exists

 in autumn inspired me to create this mixed media layout.  

 

I worked with various cutting dies, a stencil for the background design

and I used an amazing paper ('Only You' from In Love collection)

to create a special weathered look.

 

 

used 13arts products

Mother Nature with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was inspired to create a mixed media layout in fantasy style 

inspired from autumn nature.

 

Used some papers from the amazing 13arts paper collection 

'Queen of the Night' 

love this very romantic old iron gate , which I have already used

 for a spring project 'Magnolia Dreams.

 

Today another style, more rustic and natural, suitable to season Autumn.

Have used two different papers of the collection in the background 

and for some cutting dies, in addition, 

a stencil and various dried natural materials came to use.
