Garden Book Nook - Kerstin Filou

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

In simply terms it's a Book shelf insert or 

a Schaufenster im Bücherregal in german 😀.

Most of the time you see these elaborate pieces in connection

 with Harry Potter stories, beautiful and enchanting,

 but often quite expensive. 

 

I think you can do even more with these book nooks. 

I know many who have a  garden book library 

 and to this theme fits these creative idea wonderful too.

You can illuminate it and it is a wonderful gift idea.

 

 

I had the courage to make the blank myself out of 3 mm MDF material.

 It has the following dimensions: 15 x 19 x 10 cm. 

You can do that, but it's easier to buy a finished blank. 

Dusty Attic doesn't have one yet, but your day may come

😏😃.

It's relatively easy to  make,

I used scrapbook paper to cover the walls, a lot of suitable chipboards, 

and a mould for the garden path.

please get in touch I'm always happy to help if I can. 

 

I hope you find inspiration!

 

Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

Farmlife - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Welcome creative friends!

Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful natural inspiration, Love the color theme, shades of green and beige  it has so much harmony and peacefulness for me.

 

So I was inspired to create a canvas in mixed media style, 

 

my chosen theme - Farm Life -

 

 

 

 

 

some close up's 

 

 

 

Wildgrasses primed with white gesso 

deco sand was sprinkled into the still damp medium

 

a very old water pump 

primed with silver metallic paint and some texture paste 

and finished with black lacquer paint, both colours repel each other

 and so this special aged effect is created

 

 

 

 

Love those old wagon wheels

 together with the beautiful rooster and an old fence

 a wonderful ambience for a farm

Country Life - Kerstin Filou - Mood board inspiration

 

Welcome creative friends!

Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful inspiration, 

love the romance charm and the delightful colors.

 

We loved going to grandma's in the country during the summer holidays 

when we were kids. Wonderful, carefree times that we remember fondly today.

 

 

 

 

I used a matching colour background paper from 

13@arts 'Sunrise' collection.

 
 

 

 Found a lot of suitable chipboards at Dusty Attic
