Jam Tea Party by Marcelo

 I just LOVE tea parties. We don't need a special celebration to do it.

When we have a great inspiration, that's awesome!

Looking my journal materials, I found a stamp set I bought some years ago, There was a little jar stamp in this set. It gave me a super inspiration: JAMs! 

Well, why not create a Jam Tea Party? YES!

At First, I created the special jar, the "major character" of this decoration.

After that I needed an invitation for my special friends!

The table  was like this: colorful, with few flowers. 

The placeholder was a little jam jar (in the end, the person could take it home as a party favor). 

I also create a little recipe book as a party favor (we are talking about a jam tea party, so some recipes would be shared there). I love this idea!

I hope you like it!

I made a little video for you...

Mlle. Printemps by Marcelo

This is Mlle. Printemps, a little 18th century lady who loves play with flowers and her love letters.

Her dress is full of flowers and arabescs.. also we can see lovely phrases about love, emotions and, of course, spring and flowers!

She's really romantic and fancy...

And the hairdo? An amazing and large royal hair sculpture! Full of flowers, of course!

The joy of spring, the beauty of flowers and the romantic atmosphere of those letters...

This is her world!

I hope you like her... <3

Birdcages by Marcelo...

I love birdcages as a decoration element - BUT always without birds!

Some time ago I made some birdcages to post as a tutorial at my Facebook page.

I want to show you guys those birdcages... :D

They are really easy to make: we just need some iron wire, a piece of wood for the base and some nails to fix the iron wire!

We can use all your imagination! Create little castels, little houses...

I hope you guys like them.... <3

Easter Nests

For 2017's Easter, I created some little nests with little eggs... 

I hope you like! 

Easter Circus!

As you know, I LOVE doing Easter decoration. 

For this year, I wanted some different and creative... so I thought: why not a Vintage Circus Style?

Yes!!!! And this  is it: "Il Circo by Marcelo"

I

Lovely Crowns...

I just love Crowns - they remind us Royalty, Nobility...

Is amazing to put one to decorate a special angle in our home.

So... I thought: why not make a tutorial to teach the "craftwork lovers" an easy and fast way to make a Crown?

I made a facebook video (in Italian, but I believe that is really easy to understand the steps to create them).

I hope you like it!

Easter with flowers - "I Fiory di Miky" by Marcelo

I´m back!
OMG... How I miss you all!

I want to show you my Easter decoration for this year.

To do it, I need to tell a little tale, called "I Fiory di Miky" (Miky´s flowers in italian).
When I wrote this tale, I was inspired by my collection of dried roses - wreaths and bouquets.

I love to tell stories. I can imagine a child listening this tale and enjoying this decoration...

This is Miky, the artist hare!

Miky is all over the decoration! 

Delicious cupcakes...

And this bathtub full of flowers...

I choose the colors: brown, light blue and yellow for this decoration (inspired by the stones of my garden and the dried roses).

I bought this vintage hare at an antique market and made this crown in cardboard and the tie in vintage ribbon. This is Lepronius - the Emperor!

The eggs - handpainting, decoupage, personalized monogram and logo.

And Miky, of course!

I couldn´t forget to use an antique teacup from my personal collection...
(I love the napkin folded as a bunny ears)

And this is the complete result!
"I Fiori di Miky" - my tale has become real!

Thank you for visiting... I wish you a Happy Easter!!!
