Seaside Serenity for Dusty Attic

Hello creative friends!

Our summer was and is very hot and dry, 

I would just like still  hang out ;-).

Who can, goes to the sea and cools down or relaxes at home in the garden. 

Today I let our Sheltie swing comfortably in the hammock. 

'The bare necessities - Probier's mal mit Gemütlichkeit'

  

 I was inspired to try a new idea. 

I worked with some fabric leftovers and create a sea inspired mixed media canvas.

here can you see both fabric pieces which I used for the hammock

  

Unfortunately I didn't have a sewing machine yet and so I used 

a hot glue gun to get everything into shape and glue it together. 

That worked better than I thought.

Evening by the sea for Dusty Attic

Hello creative friends!

A new moodboard which reminds me on beautiful sunset's by the sea.

'Evening by the Sea' 

I use two photo's from the Baltic sea, where I love to spend our holidays.

There are no palm trees but a beautiful sandy beach where you can walk with your dog for hours.

This is true recreation and pure relaxation for us.

Unfortunately we can't go there every year and so I like to remember this time while doing handicrafts. This is one of the reasons why I love scrapbooking so much.

The use of Dusty Attic chipboards make the projects more vivid and interesting.

You can find a lot of natural style elements under Beach, Fishing, Nautical and Tropical.
