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.

Lantern 'Dance of Snowflakes'

 

  Hello everyone!


 Magical and dreamy, with snowflakes gently dancing in the sky, 

this lantern inspired me to create a snowy winter forest scene.

 

 

I primed the object with white acrylic paint and then highlighted it with brown acrylic paint using the dry brush technique. In the centre, I hung a transparent acrylic glass ornament, a little ballerina (before it was a christmas tree ornament).

I added a white cuddly skirt with tulle and small punched-out snowflakes to the ballerina. 

At the bottom of the lantern, there is an LED bottle bottom light, and above it, a big snowflake that has been glittered blue in some places. 

When the light is switched on, it looks like the snowflake is dancing over a frozen lake.

The first Frost

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 November - that unloved month between golden October with its glowing foliage,

 and the frosty December, that magical but often very hectic time.

 The first frosty November nights  freeze the last summer flowers and Halloween pumpkins 

and cover everything with a soft blanket of snow. 

 This mood inspired me to use a new mixed media board in the shape of a pumpkin. 

In a blue mood, I designed the background with a stencil and acrylics. 

The little forest elf spreads some warmth with her little light in this dark landscape 

covered with hoarfrost.

Opa Gnom

 

Hello everyone!

 

Today I'd like to introduce you to the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest, 

who probably come and go quite often in the big mushroom

Special Tip

 

You can also make a sitting Opa Gnom from a standing one. 

After all, an old man wants comfort.


Just break the legs twice OMG 😀


and then glue them back together at a 90° angle.

In a mysterious woodland

   

Hello everyone!

 

 Today I present you another newly designed 3d kit. It is a giant mushroom 

(I chose the 3mm version) that can be made as a toadstool or a boletus.


It has become a wonderful autumn table decoration for me, 

creating a charming and cosy atmosphere with the help of a simple electric tea light.

 

 

  

 


 

 

 

 
 

 Creative Tip

 

The visible joints on the stem of the mushroom were disrupting the overall appearance,
 so I chose to cover them. 
I decided to use a thicker, monochrome scrapbook paper.
 
 I cut it to size, using the plate left over from pressing out the MDF parts as a template. 
 The paper was then lightly moistened and covered with a wood pattern 
using a 3D embossing folder. 
 
 Then glued on and colour matched accordingly with dry brush technique.
