the roofs over the world

They were looking over the roofs of the word, ballons flying in the air and dreaming of all the things that were ahead of them. They were looking forward to see new contries, meet new cultures and new people.

I used a little canvas, stamped some writing stamps on tissue paper, used acrylics and mod podge and an old air ail envenlope.
The couple was stamped on shrink plastic (without shrinking it). I did not like the transparency of the female dress so I gessoed the backside of her dress a little bit.

miniature 1

Inspired by some miniature art on the internet I have decided to give it a try myself and bought some configuration boxes to make a whitch/wizard household (haven´t decided yet)

Here are the first two I have finished - way to go (I guess I have bought much too many -LOL)

 

 

it´s sooooo much fun, you really should give it a try!

time heals (art journal page)

Seeing the challange at the 3 Muses ( http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.de/2012/10/three-muses-challenge-timepiece.html) I took out some stamps I had not used for a while and started journaling, and here you see the result

I used my G45 stamps and stamps from de stempelwinkel.

Sailing away...to Halloween

 

I had some much fun altering that "paper easter egg" into a Halloween boat. Images are all from the octopode factory. The bat wings are a spellbinder die. The mast is a huge bone.
Hope you like it.

get well - mixed media canvas

Now comes the times of colds, fiebre and other illnesses that usually leave us with a red nose like some famous rendeer.
So I used up parts of an expired first aid kit and here we go

 

I used my distress markers for the first time and I love the result (the bottles were made using them). I only have a few but I really like the result.

So to everyone who is ill outside here, get well - that is for you.

Come and visit us here

altered book Halloween

this is a book I made a while ago. But with Halloween coming I thought I show you


the front

the back ("painting very shabby in silver and using very thin watery black acrylic as a 2nd coat)

 

the inside

in detail

It was a lot of fun altering that book and making it into a kind of shrine. It now decorates my entrance with a big skull to keep it open...
