Âme nomade (DT Our Creative Corner)


Bonjour et bienvenue en avril! 
Cette fois à Our Creative Corner  nous suivons Candice qui nous invite à partager l'âme des gens du voyage:
Hello and welcome in April!
This time at Our Creative Corner we follow Candice who invites us to share the Gypsy soul:


"This month's challenge invites you to let us see your gypsy nature. 
Gypsies are wanderers, purveyors of exquisite things, mysterious things, free-spirited bohemians curating the beauty of life and sharing the wonders with you as the travel along.
So for the challenge let your creativity run wild and free like a gypsy 
I want you to create interesting items you might imagine finding at a traditional Gypsy Fayre...."

  


C'est la fête qui m'a inspirée, avec toute la richesse des courants nomades, l'artistique et le mystérieux, l'éclatant et le sombre... J'ai illustré ces facettes à travers des tags qui tournent au gré d'un manège... un peu vintage:
The fair inspired me, with the richness of nomadic moves, the artistic and the mysterious, the bright and the dark... I illustrated these sides through tags turning at the whim of a carousel... a little vintage:






 Il y a la Bohémienne et ses atours,
the Bohemian lady with her finery


 une chiromancienne,
a fortune teller
 tandis que le manège tourne au fil du temps et de la musique...
while the carousel turns over time and music...

Je vous montrerai les autres tags la prochaine fois. Aujourd'hui juste quelques mots sur la fabrication du manège:
I will show you the other tags next time. Today some words about how I made the carousel:

je suis partie d'un modèle que nous a fait réaliser Martine, à Cart'en Scrap, mais je l'ai fait plus large et moins haut. 
I started with a design Martine proposed us, but I made it larger and less high.


J'ai inséré 8 crochets faits avec du fil d'aluminium cuivré...
I put 8 hooks made with copper aluminium wire...

J'aimais ce beau papier rayé, mais je voulais que mon toit ait des rayures aussi,comme un chapiteau,  évidemment centrées sur le sommet... J'ai donc scanné ce papier, puis je l'ai réarrangé sous Photoshop pour faire démarrer les rayures du centre du cône.
I loved this lovely stripes paper, but I wished my roof had stripes too, like a circus tent, of course centered on the top... So I scanned the paper, and shaped it under Photoshop, so the stripes start from the center of the cone.
Les  bordures du toit sont découpées à la Caméo, puis encrées, tamponnées et embossées à la poudre cuivre. Les fanions sont imprimés et encrés.
The roof borders are cut with the Cameo, inked, stamped and embossed with copper powder. The flags are printed and inked.

  4. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - wowowowowoowwoowoweeeeeeeeeeee - this is BEYOND FANTASTIC Lys. Dear me... this must have taken hours. And it is TRULY INCREDIBLE. The colors are FABULOUS - so bright and happy. Love the banners - they just go so perfectly to bring it all 'together'. But your tags are AMAZINGLY STUNNING. Each one is just so INTRIGUING and SPECTACULAR. This should be published in a magazine. WOW. What a SUPER take on Gypsy Fayre. XXj.
