Dog Minialbum with Dusty Attic

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

Have you already discovered the many different new album covers at Dusty Attic?

So many creative possibilities.

 I designed a beautiful dog summer album as a reminder of relaxed holidays by the sea. For the cover, chippies matching the theme of dog and sea were chosen, which were first primed with white gesso. Next, I painted on the dog, accents with silver metallic paint and black outlines to make them stand out more.

Altered Bottle - Witching Hour

 

Hello creative friends!

 

 I was inspired to create again a bottle in altered Art. 

Using the layer technique, I have put together a number of different pieces

 to make an old raven witches' clock with a pendulum.

 I love these old bottles in a dark romantic style, you can just light them up 

and they create a eerily beautiful atmosphere.

 

 used MDF shapes can you find here

 

some details

 

Have fun!

Kerstin 

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. 😈

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

Viel Spaß!

Counterfeiting - Produktpiraterie

Update August 2024

 

 

 - -- - - - - - - -Aus aktuellem Anlass - - - - - - - - -

 

 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

 I point out that the design, size and material are not the same as the original 

 Furthermore, neither my consent nor objection has been sought!!

 

I expressly state that on my personal blog,

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.
