Ancestry

Welcome my new and old followers!

Sometimes you'll soon be feeling pangs of wanderlust, 

that was already the case with my father .

Freely adapted from the proverb: "Like father like son (or daughter :-) )" 

oder

''der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm ''

I would like to leave my place by this bad weather, but it's not possible in moment.

therefore I have created a vintage Layout for my father to remember him on his wishes as he was a child 5 years old.

I used an old scrapbook paper (one of my favourites)

from Bo Bunny - weekend market around the world

Human Heart Part 2

Hi friends!

our theme at Sandee & Amelies Steampunk challenge 
 Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

I was so excited that it necessarily had to be a second art journal spread.

Do you remember on my first sites to one of my favourite songs?

Tutorial - texture and resist effects -

some of you have asked me, how I did
the worn (peel) effects

1. old bookpages glued with decoupage paper glue
2. primer = white gesso with baby powder, so it's more solid and dry
3. use an old credit card ( possible even with old paint soiled ;-))
and pick up the color slightly again

brown stains with dye distress ink walnut stain

I drippled this distress ink and sprayed with water, let it run

together with resist effect from white gesso emerge darker and light, shaded stains

Happy Moments

Welcome!

today a new Layout to Valentine's Day.
Not only the day for romantics and those in love,
also to remember on beautiful and happy moments with loving people and animals. 

You can see a photo from me and my first love :-)

It was a budgie and his name was 'Bubi'

He loved to play with zippers, fringe and to sort buttons and puzzle.

I remember me on a lot of fun and happy moments.
