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.

Cobweb House in Winter

 

Hello!

 

....  and suddenly it was winter 😀

The time goes by so fast. A classic Halloween house, which has just been lost in the fog,

 experiences the first snow.

 Felix the tomcat seems to be very comfortable. He walks across the roof with ease.

I fell in love with this unique house immediately. However, I couldn't use it for Halloween.
 I didn't want to wait until next October, so I put it into hibernation.
 I removed a few cobwebs (which I saved for future projects) and added wintry colours to turn this beautiful new kit into a winter home decor object.
It radiates cosiness and warmth while being illuminated by an electric tea light.

Magic frost flowers with Dusty Attic February Moodboard

 

Welcome creative friends!


Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful natural inspiration, 

Love the color theme, it reminds me on sunsets by the sea
 it has so much harmony and peacefulness for me.
 
So I was inspired to create a new magical layout in mixed media style, 
  I chose the delicate variation of this Moodboard colour palette
 to match an icy frosty winter morning.
 
 

 
 The chipboards were primed with white gesso and partially decorated 
with a little silver glitter paint. I reassembled the pearl pendant and
 added an ornate pendant.
 
Extra tip:
 
I turned all the paper flowers into ice flowers by first dipping them
 in liquid white acrylic paint and then sprinkled with synthetic snow 
to give them a quick and easy frosty look.

Winter Time with Dusty Attic

 Hello everyone!
 
 
 It's winter here, and the cold, snow and ice are back in full force.
 But a walk through the woods in an enchanted snowy 
winter landscape is always something special. 
 
A popular and important piece of clothing is the bobble hat, it can't be missing. 
 
I use it as inspiration for my new mixed media layout. Found this bobble hat 
in an old magazine, glued them onto sturdy cardboard and 
decorated them with white gesso and ice crystals. 
I used stencils, cutting dies, texture paper pieces and these wonderful
 Dusty Attic winter chipboards,
 love these spruce trees. 
 

 
 
I worked only with white gesso and added some synthetic snowflakes to the chippies. 
I also used die-cuts, which together with the chipboards bring more
 vividness and fullness to the layout. 
To bring more depth to the project, snowflowers, snowballs
 and fake fur stripes were used
in a wintery cluster.

Nothern Lights with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome everyone!

 

Welcome into the new year 2023, 

wish you a year full of fun and joy in creative work !


It's wintertime here, cold, snow and ice have us again fully in the grip. 
but it can be also a very special time, in the high north of Europe
 you can now discover
 Northern Lights, they change the landscape into a magic winterland.
 I  have not seen them myself yet, but they fascinate me.
 
I was inspired to create a mixed media canvas as new wall decoration 
for a child room.
 In the dark starry sky they shine especially bright
 and the little penguin marvels at these great wonders of nature.
 
 

 

Nothern Lights were painted with acrylic and metallic paints,
love to combine several techniques with the classical scrapbooking style, 
it's always very exciting.
At Dusty Attic you can find always a lot of inspiring chippies, 
which can be magnificently combined for all kinds of techniques and ideas,
I just love to try out new ideas and surprise others with them.

Home decor - Magical Winter Times with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome everyone!

 

 It's wintertime here,  first snowflakes have fallen, it's frosty cold, 
the best time for some cozy hours in the warm house. 
 
Christmas is just around the corner and I was inspired to make a new gift,
 it should be dreamy, magical and like a fairy tale.
 
I used this beautiful Big Moon as base,  
for more stability I glued it onto thick cardboard, bottom was made from 
the leftovers of the Big moon. 
All chipboards were first primed with white gesso, 
either artificial snow, glittering texture sand or small white micro beads 
were sprinkled into the still wet paint.

Fabric Art collage - Peace on Earth - Winterdream

 

  Hello everyone!

 

 I felt like working with fabric scraps again and create a art collage

 in winter christmas mood.

 

I sewed an adorable winter cottage from fabric scraps 

and  mixed different fabrics with jeans,

 added a door with a MDF shape. The natural colors of the shapes 

contrast very well with denim.

Several structure in background were made with fabric, 

wallpaper and corrugated cardboard

leftovers.

Baubles got some silver glitter and were backed with linen fabric.

 

 

 

some details







 

used MDF shapes from Calico Craft Parts

 

 
 
 I hope you find inspiration!

 

Wishing you a happy advent season!
