Altered Book - Alice Tea Party

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 I was inspired to create another book in Altered Art.

This time the theme is Alice in Wonderland,

 the mad cult story that has inspired generations,

 there are so many sayings you can use to create a project and tell a story.

- At last we thought you'd never arrive -

that was my inspiration motto  today.

 

At Dusty Attic you can find a lot of matching parts to this story. 

And I didn't only find amazing mushrooms or the classic hat 

under the heading Down the Rabbit Hole.

Altered Book - Diorama Autumn Forest

 

Hello everyone!

 

I enjoy reviving old and forgotten objects, in particular, old books 

that can be transformed into wonderful 3D dioramas. 

Today, to suit the season, I went for a walk in the autumnal forest.
Have you had the opportunity to explore the latest  shapes available in the 

Autumn & Woodland Shapes

collection?

  I can only say that they are enchanting and very inspiring!

 

 

 

 Love the latest

Skeleton, Dead Trees, Stumps & Branches

I used different sizes, sometimes only parts or, for example, 
interpreted 

Bonsai Skeleton Tree

completely new as a tree root.

Altered Book - Springtime in Forest

 

Hello creative friends!

 

Many of us are eagerly awaiting spring,

 more sun, more warmth, more nature. on my windowsill 

the hyacinths and primroses are blooming and fragrant,

 high time for a new spring decoration.  😀

 

 

 

I created an Altered book with a background paper from Stamperia (Forest)

a lot of suitable chipboards from Dusty Attic

and dried nature materials.

 Maybe you can still remember on


this new book is to continue the series, now it's springtime in the forest.

Guest Design Craft O' Clock - Altered Book Christmas

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

Today another guest design inspiration, it's a vintage book in Altered Art. 
 

I love to create books in Altered Art and such a lot of 

beautiful christmas motifs in the - Warm and Peaceful - collection have 

invited me to design it.

 

I used a 20 x 20 cm background paper from this collection and

 endless motifs to cut out, that made the scissors glow 😁

they were supplemented with suitable cutting dies, a little tree and cones. 

Cut out motifs were arranged in several layers of the gutted old books,

creating an amazing 3d effect.

Thanks for your visit!

 

Happy advent season!

Altered Book with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

 A little bit late for Halloween, I know
but our nights in November are also always very dark, 
misty and mysterious.
 
Some would also say after Halloween is before Halloween, 
but I'm not such a big fan of this event, I
 rather love the magic and mystery and the great fantasy behind it.
 

 

 I created a book in Altered Art, love this old, weathered look
it fits to a mystery atmosphäre
and invite to tell fantasy stories.
Dusty Attic  has a large selection of chipboards
 for such stories in the assortment, love that!

Pirates Adventure - Altered Book

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I love it to create  books in Altered Art, and to tell stories with it.

It's always fascinating to work in combination with 2D and 3D effects.


I worked with MDF shapes, outcast's from silicone moulds

and cutting dies.

 

I'm a big fan of all the Pirates of Carribean adventures,

they inspire me again and again.

Galleon Boat   

reminds me of 'Black Pearl' rising from the sea.

used MDF shapes from Calico Craft Parts

 

Coral - MDF Wood Shape Style 15

Galleon Boat MDF Wood Shape - Style 10
