Do you Dare ??? - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

 Welcome creative friends!

Have you seen yet our awesome September Moodboard in monochrome style???

Fabulous, it reminds me on mystic chilly autumn days, when the fog rises and the sun slowly fights its way through the fog. 

 

 

I was inspired to create an canvas in mixed media style.

 I love it to design with few colours and therefore more texture and structures.

As autumn draws around, the days become shorter and darker, nights are cooler and more humid  the best season to walk in the forest and look for mushrooms.

 You can discover unknown places,
enchanted clearings and meadows. 

 So I created a door into an unknown world on my canvas.

 

some close up's

 

 

 

 The door frame was made with a silicone mould,  it is surrounded by mushrooms, leaves and branches

The bare tree was perfect for my project, I used brown and black to color the chipboard, finally lighted with dry brush technique and white gesso

 I divided the frame into two parts and glued them on top of each other again, so I had the right size for my title

 

Dusty Attic chipboards and stencils that I
have used:

 

Bare Tree #1

 Tropical Foliage #8

Toadstools #2

Sturt Desert Pea #1

Blooms #3

 Squiggly Frame #1

Wildflowers #2 Stencil

Threaded Beads Stencil

 

We are looking forward to see what you come up with this months challenge.

Hope - Kerstin Filou

Hello creative friends!

Announcing this year's
most scary night - yes, it's time for Halloween, 

but not those
nasty bloody monster stories,

 I love mystical and imaginative tales and
so I was inspired

 to create a new Halloween mixed media canvas.

...Once upon in a cold, gloomy night when a strange
light 

appeared behind the
tombstone. 

 

 Who drove his mischief there???
...

 

some details

 bar on the gravestone creates a 3D effect and was made with a
leftover from

Broken
Bits #6 - Grid 1

I love to use the Movers and Shapers Headstone (Sizzix die) for a real
stone look.

 I created with texture paste or fine deco sand and finally dry
brushed with white Gesso.

I love this old amazing strongly branched tree

Bare
Tree #2

  and used  only a part of the whole tree

for an old weathered wooden look I used white crackle paint on some
places

and a little bit rust and black acrylic paint

some of the new 

Toadstools
#2

painted with diluted silver acrylic paint and highlighted with texture
paste

 

used Dusty Attic chipboards
