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:

Halloween Multiframe - Gothic windows 

Ornate Navigation Globe

Flying Eye ball with wings Style 3

Potion

Flying skull with Angel wings

Shaped Greyboard Mixed Media Style 14

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

 Multiframe - Gothic windows 

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!
