Good Morning all.
Its a mixed media home decor piece from me today. I made this back in January as a gift and now its landed at its new home I can share it. Using the fab katzelkraft bird stamps ive made up a birdhouse for them to live in.
I took a frame and covered it in black gesso & touches of texture paste then layered on various acrylic paints. I lined each section with a brown paper that I'd over stamped with a wood grain stamp. I stamped lots of the birds and watercoloured with distress oxide inks and cut them out, adding glossy accents to the eyes. I then got building up each room - see below. I added a key to the roof to act as a kind of chimney and a copper effect label, keyhole & key to the front of my birdhouse.
Here we start in the nursery where the new parents are waiting for their chicks to hatch. I used beads for the eggs & a little easter basket which id cut off the handles for my nest.
In one birds bedroom she is trying to work out which outfit of feathers to wear today. I made a little mirror for her using mirri card and a chipboard frame, little metal hanger charm and some feathers and a little sewing machine charm for when she wants to personalise her outfit. As birds aren't afraid of spiders she has a pet spider too😁
In the play room the chicks are practising a new dance routine. The spiders and web i die cut from black card and added silver acrylic paint, to the spiders i added crackle accents and let dry.
And in the kitchen its chaos😁 I used dried hazel twigs for the wood stools my birds are stood and sat on. Reindeer moss on the floor, some more feathers and metal charms.

Katzelkraft stamps - les zoisos
