Christmas carol

Welcome! 

today an new project with a lot of wonderful laces from Tresors de Luxe


I have made a shadow box with a nostalgic motif from Anton Pieck

use pieces from laces and glue it with hot glue gun,
you can also work in mutiple layers
you can colored the lace, here white acrylic paint
La Blanche stamp for background
snow texture with palette knife




I hope my idea is an inspiration for you to use laces also for mixed media projects.

I wish you  all  a pleasant and peaceful  Advent Season!

Märchentante & Leseeule

Welcome everyone!

heute stelle ich euch ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt vor :-),
wie ich euch bereits sonntags erzählte
lese ich unseren Kindern jetzt öfter Winter- und Weihnachtsmärchen vor
anscheinend können sie nie genug davon bekommen ;-)
da sie meine Bastelchaosecke hier auch öfter untersuchen und natürlich kräftig mitmischen wollen, haben sie letztens Bäume mit zunehmender Begeisterung gebastelt
Die tolle Idee dazu habe ich hier entdeckt



 einer dieser Bäume sollte natürlich unbedingt auf mein nächstes Projekt :-)
und jedes Mal, wenn die Kleinen zu Besuch sind, wird nachgeschaut, ob er noch da ist.
der ist doch super cool geworden, ein echter Winterkunstbaum oder?






das sind natürlich Kai und Gerda aus der Schneekönigin



 

falls ihr außer den Detailphotos, Info's zu Material und Herstellung braucht, dann meldet euch bitte!



 das ist übrigens Lesetante 'K(as) erstin'
wusste gar nicht, das ich solche Telleraugen habe ;-)

Challenges
before it was an old wooden box for stuff


Happy weekend!

Magical Winter Night

Welcome and joy to you this advent time!

perhaps a little bit early, especially today
 but outside it is now very uncomfortable, right time to work creative
 because lately I have must here often read for our children fairy tales
 no, I do it gladly, even very much 
and so you will see in next times some projects
which are inspired from several winter fairytales 


already guessed???
not so easy I'm afraid - The Snow Queen from H.Ch. Andersen



The Moon is a cut out of cardstock with a mixture
 of colored white Gesso applied with a palette knife


background was made with some blue acrylic paints and black, a sentiment stamp and a litte bit
Glitter for a magic effect
also I used stencils (branches and baroque texture form crafters Workshop) with white Modeling paste



rendeers was stamped and used with silver embossing powder and cut out
trees are also dies, I used an old piece of structure wallpaper + blue spray mist




Thanks for your visit
Have a good creative time!

Dance in the Rain

Welcome friends,

- November Mood - 

we all know the dismal moments in life, where nothing goes right and everything 
 is gray and dark.
In this mood I have made this new Art Journal page. Life is not always colorful and cheerful, the other side is one of them.
 But without those dark moments, we sometimes can not appreciate the good things in life, or?



          I have used some DecoArt Fluid Acrylics carbon black, cerulan blue and titanium white

                               these colors can also be very well diluted with water
 

crackle effect with Metallic silver + crackle paint white in the left bottom corner
the girl with umbrella was painted from me( deliberately faceless)


 stencil 'Children' from DecoArt with script stamp



I also used Shimmer Mister White
 actually, it should only be a few discreet raindrops, but the spray head has decided ;-)
 that it will be other and yes it was a surprise OMG ! :-) puddles,
 but I did as a child also gladly splashes in puddles and fits perfectly


and so I created in a sadly mood a new page
 with optimismus and the splashes make me smile again


Best wishes from Kerstin
