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

Today a new inspiration for you, it's a mixed media layout 

based on the wonderful moodboard theme 

this month at Dusty Attic.

 

It looks like Summer, Sun & Sea ,

 Love to walk on the beach and collect shells,  looking out over the sea,
enjoying the calm and just letting the soul swing freely.

Art Journal Cover - Springtime Feelings

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I created a textile collage with leftovers from various fabric and laces

as cover for an Art Journal.

I always love to use the MDF shapes as 3d elements in their original form. 

Love this special wood expression, often I also split them 

and create new impressions with it.

 

 

 sewed a small house with different fabrics together

 and decorated it with a mini door in grunge style

Night of a full moon with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Have you ever experienced the magical aura of the full moon?

I discovered an enchanted figure on a meadow 😀 

Was that reality or a dream?

 

As I saw the amazing background paper 'In the woods' 

from the 'Queen of the Night' my imagination was awakened

 and I was inspired to create a mixed media layout.

Together with this great Dark Queen motif from this collection 

a meadow in moonlight was created.

 

To make the queen look even more alive, she got a shimmering skirt

 made of wide ribbon and small green feathers, as well as transparent wings.

 

used 13arts products 

 

 

 Besides papers from 'Queen of the Night ' collection I also used

papers and elements from 'Aurora', also a very suitable collection for fantasy stories

in addition transparency foil, stencils, glitter ink and floristic materials

all this products can you find at 13arts

I hope I could awaken your imagination and inspiration.

 

Happy creating!

A Book Nook - what is that?? with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

In simply terms it's a Book shelf insert or 

a Schaufenster im Bücherregal in german 😀.

Most of the time you see these elaborate pieces in connection

 with Harry Potter stories, beautiful and enchanting,

 but often quite expensive. 

 

I think you can do even more with these book nooks. 

I know many who have a  garden book library

 and to this theme fits these creative idea wonderful too.

You can illuminate it and it is a wonderful gift idea.

 

 

I had the courage to make the blank myself out of 3 mm MDF material.

 It has the following dimensions: 10 x 19 x 15 cm B/H/T.

You can do that, but it's easier to buy a finished blank. 

Dusty Attic doesn't have one yet, but your day may come

😏😃.

It's relatively easy to  make,

I used scrapbook paper to cover the walls, a lot of suitable chipboards, 

and a mould for the garden path.
