Spring Memories by Marcelo - Memorydex project

 

Hello, friends!

Since I discovered, a month ago, the memorydex system, I can't think about a project without a card done for my memorydex archive.

The first project I want to share with you is "Spring Memories by Marcelo" - when I was a little boy, when I saw a flower, I imagined little fairies ready to dance or fly through the garden or park.

So, for this project, I decided to create a memorydex card with a unusual shape: a terracotta vase with a flower inside.

A little greenhouse is the memorydex tray for my Spring cards.

Here we can see the tray with the memorydex card.

The flower becomes a little paper doll fairy!

It was amazing to draw, colorate and assemble everything!

Here is a little video I created to show the pieces...

I hope you like this project and have a great magical Spring!

XOXO

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 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!!!

Landscape Teacups

Yesterday we made a little trip to an incredible little mountain town called Casalanguida.
I bought those antique teacups last year and was waiting for a good moment to photograph them - this trip was perfect for it!

The teacups, from 19th century, are completely handpainted.

The little landscapes are amazing! 
Look at the details...

 

The colors, the shape... those teacups are really precious!

I hope you like it!

Sweet Spring

I can´t wait anymore! I want Spring now!
What can we do?
Well, today is the birthday of a good friend and I tried to anticipate Spring in Italy...

  For me, Spring is the season of inspiration...

Sugar and inspiration! Hummm... delicious!

I wish you all an incredible and sweet Spring!
