Garden wand panel

 

Hello creative friends!

 

Have you discovered the new garden parts yet? such a lot of creative possibilities!

I love our garden, it's my therapie, my escape into nature.

  I was also looking for birthday present ideas. As it should be something unusual, I decided on a steampunk-style wall panel to serve as an eye-catching addition to the gazebo.

The garden is calling and I must go 😅

Pirates World

 

 Hello creative friends!

And here's another pirate project, but this is definitely the last one! 😅
This beautifully engraved pirate should take centre stage, and I have left it in its original state. The result is a Shadowframe in an underwater setting, complete with a treasure chest. This is also very elaborately engraved, and has been highlighted with silver wax to make the details more visible.

Pirates Book Bottle

 

 Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me ... Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo HO Ho and a bottle of Rum 

I'm sure many of you will recognise this song from Pirates of the Caribbean. 

 

To conclude our summer pirate adventure, today I present to you a book bottle.

 An empty bottle was wrapped in a cardboard sleeve. 

 My aim was to create a vivid 3D effect and I also wanted to make it look as old as possible.

 By the way, you can also design it so that it works as gift wrapping.

Hello Friend - Picture frame

 

 Hello!

 

Today an upcycling project, it was an old wooden frame, now it's an eyecatcher

 where you can add an special photo or an wise saying. 

I decorated it with a nautilus from a fantasy Steampunk land and 

  supplemented the nautilus with a kelp, split in the centre, 

this is how wonderful tentacles were created.

 Chain was made with the help of a mould,

 on the body I added two cogs, a capnut and a thin metal ornament.

The return of Black Pearl

  Hello again!

 I saw a green glow on the horizon.
That means a soul from the realm of the dead is returning to the world. 

Here it is: the Black Pearl, as promised in my last post.
I enjoyed upcycling an old book again. 

I combined the MDF shapes with paper cutouts, used moulds (pirate head)

and modelled octopus arms.

Secrets of the Sea

 

 Hello!

 

 The ship was pulled underwater by the octopus. 

Sharks circle and guard this grave. 

Experts think it could be the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship

 that was doomed to wander the oceans.

I created a shadow frame in mixed media style, for this I had to completely destroy 

this new pirate ship, omg. It's broken into pieces on the ocean floor, 

but someone will fix it up soon. 😉

 See you soon!

He is a pirate

 

Ahoy, landlubbers 😀

The black pearl has taken off again, and the pirate adventures continue, at least for now.

 I made a new shadowbox in grunge style with a touch of steampunk from a kit for a paper lantern.

 I used self-produced rust to make everything look as old and cool as possible. 

Even in the dark, it catches the eye; in the green glow, it appears on the horizon, having returned from the underworld to the world of the living.

Steampunk World

 

 Hello!

 

  The sky's the limit when it comes to your imagination, right?!

 and especially the Steampunk genre is a fantasy world, anything is possible, 

because it's a genre

 that's never existed before.

 

I created a canvas in mixed media style, it's always a pleasure to combine

 several textures, color effects and materials.  

Have you discovered the Steampunk Letters yet? They are extremely creative

and ideal for personalised gifts.
