Halloween in Wonderland

 

Hello creative friends!

 

I created a book in Altered Art to Halloween, 

theme was 'The scary Alice Apothecary '. 

and Alice has a special recommendation for you - 

 

Mix a teaspoon The madness powder   with 100 ml Wodka 😅👿

use it without care at all the time 

and you 'll fit right in our world 👀👻😁

 

The fire-breathing Jabberwocky and the grim-faced twins fits very well to this theme.

DIY Key hook

 

 Hello!

 

 Today a new inspiration for Alice in Wonderland fans, it's a key hook for wall in grunge style. Of course, you can attach other things too!

 I found this teapot really interesting. I attached it in such a way that it should bring 

grist to the mill of grey everyday life.

 A good idea provides a tailwind and can brings success.

The Steampunk Multi Frame - Cogs 

 It's great for putting photos of family or friends in, 

so you've got a quick gift idea that's always well received.

Alice in Wonderland - Mixed Media Inspiration

 

 Hello!

 

 I was really excited to try out a new technique again, 

and the Alice theme was absolutely perfect for this!

 I formed some strands from old newspapers and made a keyhole, 

then painted it with the appropriate colours to create some gnarled old trees.

 The result is a very cool 3d effect 😍

 The new Alice shape fitted perfectly into the centre of this hole.

Bookend 2 - Alice in Wonderland

 Hello, and welcome to today's second matching bookend!

 

The basic structure of the bookend is similar to the first one, but this time I used the

Arch with Shaped Profile

 I also used a cup as a base for decorating. You could even cut the cup in half and add the other half to the left bookend! There are so many variations that are possible.

 


 
How to tips 
 


Here's a great tip! Gluing two parts together is a good way to add stability. 

Try gluing two parts on top of each other – Bookend left: Dead Tree Trunk – MDF Wood Shape Style 4 Wild Flowers & Butterflies or

 Bookend right: Alice In Wonderland Shapes – Just Alice Silhouette and Wild Flower Patch Border. This gives more stability and makes your project look amazing!

 You can also use the leftovers – the Alice In Wonderland Shapes – We're All Mad Here Script was perfect for that.

Bookends - Alice in Wonderland

 

 Hello!

Today a new inspiration project with Alice in Wonderland shapes.

 I created two bookends using some mixed media boards. I used two boards, each 2mm thick, and glued them together to make them more stable.

 For the bottom part, I split one board in half, glued it on top of the other, and then glued it to the side part.

 It's a simple construction that works well, 

and you can let your imagination run wild with the further design!

and with some tips how it's done.

Have fun creative friends!

Door Hanger Alice - We're all mad here

 

 Hello!

 

 Have you seen the latest products at Calico Craft Parts???

You can find a lot of Alice in Wonderland shapes, suitable to the well-known classic children's book.


This is a wonderful story told with imagination that are reflected in our time. 

I love this story, as I'm sure many of you do too. You can be creative and explore this topic in many ways. The world in the story is full of wonders, and the door is open to many ideas.

 I will be presenting a few projects in the near future. 

To start today, I have a quick little gift for good friends. It's a door hanger, you can use it, for example, when you invite friends over or as a signpost for the next creative workshop. It will put a smile on everyone's face.


 

 

 The Mad Hatter was very inspiring for me. The level of detail was impressive. I primed it with a little white paint using the dry brush technique. Then, I lightly painted over the surface with silver wax cream. Finally, I coloured the hat black and added only light accents with rust paint. 

I have had the best experiences when working with pure colour and very little water thinner. I always allow it to dry well in between so that the details look very good.

We're all mad here - creative mad, right?!

You'll fit right in 😀

I would love to see some of your projects on IG or FB, 

please use #Aliceccp

 

Have fun!

Alice book box: by Louise

 


Hi there.

Today I’m sharing a decorated Book Box. 

To be honest, this is a re-makeover as I’m using a book box I decorated way back in September 2015 .

Most of us move on, learn new techniques and , hopefully, improve. And when I looked at the book box on my shelf, I knew it was not nearly as good as it could be  so I tore some bits off, left most of the leaves on it, covered it in black gesso, then started it’s second makeover.


I’ve only added a toadstool ( I broke one off from a set of three as it’s what I had in my craft parts stash), some resin roses and a couple of mould casts of Alice and the wonderland plaque . I’ve not done the inside yet so maybe that will be my next post  I’ve not decided how I want inside to look.



Calico craft parts used  

Thistle flower branch style 2 (medium and large)
Humming bird duo.
Wild grass wood shape
Fancy flower flourish
Flowering vine (border wood shape)
Toadstool
and of course the... Book box kit (medium)
