Percy's Magic House

Here is another altered art house assemblage I created using products in my line: Cupie-ology by Lisa Kettell Designs, I made this using a small wood doll house shaped closet found in the wood section of the craft store, layered w/scrapbook paper, trim, glitter and embellishments from Lisa Kettell Designs line of products. The main piece was the painted Bailey embellishment sold in a painted pack of three.

This is an updated project from my book, Altered Art Circus, Quarry Books, where I have some projects in there using doll house wooden closets and houses that are turned into circus carts like the cover of the book and assemblages.
 

The Story: "Percy Grimwald lives at the edge of Stony Brook Forest by Bluebelle Fields and Hickory Stone which sits beside the Twin Star River. Percy can be seen overseeing his garden filled with wiggly wots, piddlebat, tweenseed and licorice root. Every Tuesday he heads to the Twinkle Spat Farms for the weekly farmers market where you can find his latest crops, in addition to Tye Wiggs' Candy Stalks, Caramel Blue Raspberry Apple Sticks, and Peppermint Elixirs. Here you can by Cherry Doc Bulbs, Bat Dust and a variety of magical delights.

After the market Percy invites friends over for afternoon tea elixirs and treats made from delights in his garden, you never know what sparks are going to fly out his windows if the Twinie Pixies show up for tea and begin playing twizzle stixs, which light up and spread moon dust everywhere.....

 

Stay tuned for new carnival/circus carts using my latest products.

Princess Fish Media Mail Art
I cut an 8" fish shape out of chip board
I used LISA KETTEL'S pink swirl Cupie paper and tore little pieces to create the scales of the fish
I had an aqua paper and tore it into little pieces to add the blue for the fins
I decoupaged the pieces to create the scales and worked from tail to head
I cut the crown out of the paper, decoupaged it to a second layer to add structure to the crown , then attached the crown with decoupage glue
I attached a 1/2" google eye with hot glue
 

Enjoy!
