Warning ;-) :-)

 

Ich kam, sah und vergaß was ich wollte 😀

das kennen sicher einige von euch auch, oder?!

 

Ich habe diese 'weise' Erkenntnis in eine kleine Hexenküche gepackt

dort geht es zwar leicht chaotisch zu,

aber trotzdem ist es unheimlich gemütlich und einladend.

 

------- I come I saw I forget what I was doing ------

Beware  you are entering a crisis region 👿😂 

 

Today my latest project created with chipboards, it's a funny kitchen sign in rusty grunge style, 
perfect suitable as gift idea for good friends too.
 
I used an old MDF frame from my stuff, love this shape as base, you can use them in many ways.
With the matching chipboards from Dusty Attic, cutting dies -little witches, spider web (Thinlits Sizzix) and some dried nature materials I created a wall sign and attached a piece of string to it to dry herbs from the garden, for example. Of course, you can also attach notes or photos to it.

DA0597 Bottles on a Shelf 
 
  DA3520 Mini Kitchen Utensils 
 
 DA2397 Broken Bits #7 – Distressed Grid
 
 Kitchen utensils and Broken Bits  were created with silver metallic paint
and dry brushed with black or copper acrylic paint.
 
To create a 3d effect, I glued some grey cardboard behind the shelf.

 Once I'd primed the bottles with white gesso, I stuck the cut-out labels on each one 
and then decorated them individually with 3D paint.

Witchy's Barometer

 

Witchy's Barometer has started to rise

Halloween time is soon again
 
Dark romantic fantasy is back in vogue

😀



 

Once you've seen the new Tim Holtz inspirations,

 it's time to bring the dark side of the Force to life again.
 

Today it's a tag with an old weathered barometer 

that functions as a mood barometer.

 It's currently somewhere in between frosty cold and boiling hot. 😈

See you soon!

Hier kocht der Chef

 

Hallo!

 

Bei einer schönen Wanderung besuchte ich  das neue Hexendorf 

auf dem Hexentanzplatz in Thale, im Harz. Dort kann man auch ein Hexenhaus bestaunen, 

in dem die ganze Welt auf dem Kopf steht.

Das neue Hexendorf erscheint zunächst wie eine Touristenfalle, 

dem meiner Meinung nach das gewisse Etwas fehlt, 

um eine mystische Sagenwelt entstehen zu lassen.

Das war für mich Inspiration und Herausforderung zugleich.

Das Thema Hexenküche steht z. Zt. bei mir im Mittelpunkt einer neuen Dark Fantasy Reihe.

 

 Kocht denn der Chef oder die Chefin ;-) 

vor WUT oder was steht heute auf der Speisekarte???

Man weiß es nicht!!

 



Gewürzt mit einer Prise Humor und einem Augenzwinkern ,

im Hintergrund, habe ich ein Schild entstehen lassen, 

das man an die Küche, an die Imbissbude

an das regionale Spezialitätenrestaurant

oder wo auch immer es beliebt, hängen kann.

 
 

 

 Einzelteile, aus denen das Schild zusammen gesetzt wurde


 

some details











Viel Spaß!

Counterfeiting - Produktpiraterie

 I am angry and upset 

that this problem still hasn't been solved.



 

 

- Today one remark in our own interest -

I have discovered a brazen case of counterfeiting. 
Not only has my original been copied and imitated, but it is being sold in various shops
 
 with my original images.
Found it on Ebay; Amazon; Aliexpress
and various USA shops
 

Immer noch - STILL

Planner with Dusty Attic

 Hello!

I absolutely love working with Dusty Attic chipboards and stencils. They're so versatile, and I love the options and variety, especially when it comes to creative design. So today, I'm thrilled to present you with a new idea. It's a planner or better a Mood book in which I put together and collect certain moods, weather phenomena, funny sayings and personal memories for each month. 

 I also keep memories for example of particularly beautiful flowers in my garden, like the peony here in May. Unfortunately, there is still no way of preserving the wonderful scent, but it's still a great idea! 😃

 You don't need many chipboards to create a beautiful display, but you can use just a few to make special accents. I love using special embossing powders with a metallic effect to make each month unique.

A girl and her dog with Dusty Attic

 

 Hello!

 

My latest sea inspired layout with some beautiful chipboards from Dusty Attic.

It's a mix of boho and vintage style , I used some dried plants like grasses and thistles, 

I love that natural look, I played with distressed colours and different textures

 to make everything look a bit older.


 

 

 All chipboards were primed with white gesso, then painted with acrylics. 

Some were textured with powder. I

 love to divide the chippies because it opens up new possibilities. 

You often work in layers, which creates a vivid impression.
