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.

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.

assescoires.

Homedecor Provence for September Moodboard Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 Today a new inspiration for our amazing monthly Moodboard at Dusty Attic.

The color combination was fits for me to

our summer garden.

 

I was inspired to create a wooden panel in Altered art.

 

It reminds me of the wonderfully fragrant blooming

 lavender in our garden, beautiful again every year.

 

 

 

 

 

I combined several cut outs from a suitable paper collection (Fabrica Decoru),

added amazing chipboards, cutting dies, structures 

and  also natural dried organic materials.

 

Chipboards were primed with white gesso, 

and painted with purple acrylic paint or

 even decorated with crackle varnish.
