clay houses (orange)


Hello! I made two more clay houses in orange shades. Actually they are a gift for a special friend and tomorrow they are going to travel far away...:)
I really enjoy making all these clay cuties, I just can't have enough!

bubbles



 Hello!
Today I have to show a layout that I made and inspired by two mood boards, yes two!!!

Scrap Around The World : mood board by Helen Tilbury


The aim was to combine both challenges as the mood boards' color palettes are similar, something that gives me inspiration for creating with happy feelings. In addition to this, I really liked both board themes and I visualized them as supplement to each other, like for example when we can or should celebrate the simplicity of things in life.
So, I took the opportunity to use my acrylic colors after a long time and I finally came up with one of my most colorful works so far. The main layout concept is bubbles: everyone likes them, children and grown ups! Don't you? Except the two bubble clouds, the white tag and the two buttons, everything else is handmade from plain paper cut with scissors (e.g. the big hearts) or punches.

clay houses (pink)


Everyone who knows me well, knows that I looooove houses: little ones, big ones, wooden, clay, paper, fabric, felted...

So, a few days ago, I made these cuties with ear-dry clay, shaped them with hands (no tools at all) and let them dry. I painted them with white acrylic paint and then randomly inked the edges with black ink and stamped with a Prima floral corner stamp. Then I got some thin (for jewelry) wire and wrapped it around the houses (also I made some spirals using a toothpick) to secure the flowers and metal elements and also to make the spiral 'chimneys'.

I love how they turned out and I've already found for them a place on my fireplace :)
