Thinkers Oasis by Kerstin

Hello, craft lovers!

I was inspired to create a new shadow box in vintage style. 
I thought of an old spartan room 
where poets and philosophers let their thoughts run free.

 


Calico Craft Parts used:




some details








Flying skull with Angel wings + the word Potion (which I found to be a very suitable addition ;-)
I used DecoArt Crackle Glaze and Metallic Lustre 'Silver Spark' for a distressed, but shiny effect




 A still life picture was glued behind the frame; to the right side stamped foil
that should look like an old mirror


created with DecoArt Fluid Acrylics Metallic Gold and Antiquing cream 'Patina Green'

Have a look at this amazing vintage globe! On it I only used Antiquing cream 'Titanium White' 
and for the pedestal Metallic Lustre 'Gold Rush'. Some contrast lines were drawn with a brown fine tip pen
 

 
  
One of our latest great MDF shapes: a Flying Eye ball !
I coloured it with diluted DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics white, black and gold



side view


Atmospheric lighting creates the perfectly special mood :-)


Thanks for your visit!

Happy crafting!
