Colour your world 13@rts Month challenge

 

 Welcome!

 

Think outside the box was a truly challenge for me, such a lot of colours, real an explosion. 

It reminded me of those festivals where they throw coloured powders. I actually only ever use a few colours on a project and then use them in shades.

 

 

Today something different from me. I have divided the layout from the grey everyday life into the dazzlingly colourful world of art.

I used papers and cut out motifs from 'Young and Free' collection, 

Color Glow watercolours and 

RAINBOW COLOR powder paints and a 

Flower stencil (Pastel Spring)

 

I love it to complement mixed media layouts with outcasts 

from silicone moulds (Stamperia) and cutting dies (Sizzix)

Sea Adventures - Altered Bottle

 

Welcome everyone!

 

I was inspired to create a glass bottle in altered art. 

  I simply love to work 

with moulds and modelling clay

and an Under the Sea theme is always one of my favourites. 

 

  An upcyling idea, I used a liquor bottle as base

 and modeled with silicone moulds and theme suitable MDF shapes.

some outcast's made with silicone moulds and airdrying clay

glued as frame with assembly adhesives

supplemented with MDF shapes

and gauze


 

ship lantern was pressed into the still wet modelling clay with a piece of wire, 

it can move freely

a perfect rocking element in heavy sea 😅

after the drying process everything was painted over with black gesso,

only for the middle part I used grey chalky paint


 

coloured with green gold metallic wax and white acrylic paint

+ Art stones in various sizes


 

highlighted with golden metallic wax

Bella Italia with 13@rts

 

Welcome everyone!

 

Summer, sun and a delicious italian ice cream, what could be better? 

When I discovered the beautiful 'Bella' collection at 13 arts 

I was inspired to create a new mixed media summer layout.

 

 A little bit vintage, a little bit old and dilapidated, 

that's how I remember the romantic alleys and streets on Lake Garda. 

My last summer holiday in Italy was a little while ago, 

but I still remember it very fondly. 

 

But you can find a little bit of italy here too, even if it's just a really 

delicious italien ice cream parlour.

 Sunrise collection - Daylight

Brought some life into the summer layout by creating an awning for a cosy shady seating. 

Used two straws and matching paper from Sunrise collection. 

Together with some outcasts from Prima IOD silicone moulds a wonderful ambience. 






Have a beautiful summer time!
