♥ Booknook Part 1

16 april 2021 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey lovelies! I don’t know if you love reading or not at all? I personally love books, reading them, collecting them. I often get inspired by them and that brings me to today’s post. A while ago I got introduced to something called a “booknook”, or bookshelf insert. It’s just a little world inside a nook of your bookshelf. Ever since I saw one, I kept looking at videos of people who would make them. Everyone makes them how they want to, it’s really fun. You could make them inspired by books or movies, or just make something up yourself. So, today I will show you a bit of progress on my first ever booknook that I will make. I’m very excited already! It’s not really a tutorial what I will make here. But more like an explanation of what you could do. Be inspired and get creative yourself. This is gonna be fun! Ah, right, this will be part1, part2 will come next month, didn’t wanna rush.

Base of the booknook

First I started off with the base of the booknook, I used foamboard for it, since that was still lying around from school days. I’d better use it now. But you could also use wood or cardboard. Just what you have around. For the size, it is really up to what your plan is. That’s why I made a sketch first to see how much detail I wanted. Then I measured up a book to figure out the height and the depth.

The sizes I used for this booknook I am working on.

I used tape at first to put it together but then decided I wanted to glue one side, the back and the bottom together to have some sturdiness going on already. The other parts I wanted to keep loose so I could remove them while working on the inside.

The Inside

For the inside you could use any material you would like. Think of clay, miniature objects either made yourself or bought, foliage, wood, etc. Use anything you could think of to make the nook you want.

Since I wanna make a booknook based of “Helende Bladeren” by Claudia Boon. I went ahead and started with clay, as you can see in the pictures. Since I used light air dry clay, I had to deal with drying time. And that’s the main reason I’ve split up this blog post. I wanted to let all parts dry properly before continuing to paint etc.

So next month I will release part 2, hopefully I’ve a finished booknook to show to you. But I already know now, that I really wanna make more of them. Different themes though, just wanna have fun! I hope you get inspired by my work as well. If you do, don’t forget to tag me on Twitter or Instagram, I’d love to see what you create!

I hope you have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle

♥ Beessie Redo

19 juli 2017 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hi lovelies!

A short update from me. I recently re-painted my very first poseable art-doll. Why?! because I made a rookie mistake haha, I used cheap paints back then, and the color almost completly faided. I will never make that mistake again! I will just work with my beloved Amsterdam acryllics.

BeessieThis was how she looked before.
(Here’s the old post)

♥ Beessie

Beessie loves to play in our garden. preferably in the evening when it’s getting dark. Jumping over branches and climbing into the trees, but not to high! she’s a bit affraid of hights. I can watch her for hours jumping and running around. And when it’s really dark, or when de sun is out, she prefers to sleep, a lot! I guess that’s where she get’s the energy from haha. Sometimes I catch her and bring her inside to stay in my room. She loves that from time to time. She watches me working on other creatures or tries to help me with drawing (well you can imagine how that goes. xD  Walking over my drawing or sitting in the way.) But most of all, when she’s inside, just like ouside, she sleeps.

Beessie Redo

BeessieHow she looks now.

I had fun re-painting her. And I definitely learned my lesson haha.

Love,
Danielle

♥ Merry Christmas!!

25 december 2015 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

It’s Christmas time~~ *sings*

I love this time of the year, all the lights and decoration, it just makes me feel good! Even though I’m struggling with life lately, I decided to stay away from social media for a while, I will see when I go back and start using it again =).

In the mean while, I made a some christmas decoration (and made some food, but before I even can make pictures it’s gone already, thank you family haha love you anyway)
Let me show you how some parts of my room look and some decoration I made ^^ (and yup, Jimmy had to be there =P)

Room decoration

Room Decoration 2

And let me show now what I made and where I got the inspiration from! ^^

Santa

I made this Santa out of Foam, I wanted to make it for years and finally found the time to make him! Isn’t he cute?! Here’s the tutorial I used for it *Click* (Warning it’s in Spanish!)

Stockings  Gingerbread and Santa's lil Helper

And then it was time for Crochet, somehow I always start making things I love to do, but never do *sigh I’m stupid xD I should do things I love more often, and not focus on one medium. Anyway, for the stockings I used this pattern. I love them, only the picture I made I don’t like hmm.
And isn’t Santa’s lil helper cute? I made 2 actually, I couldn’t stop! Here’s the pattern (warning it’s in spanish, let me know if you need help). Last but not least the gingerbread cookie! When I saw the image, I was like ‘I have to make him!’ and I did! I only used this picture as reference.

Penguin Wine Glass

I saw those kind of wine glasses painted all over the internet, I fell in love with the idea! So I made my own version of it, a Penguin!! Adorable right?! I only learned that I need to use quality acrylics to paint, like the white and not cheap ones like the black, it somehow comes off with every layer of paint you add, it gets all crumbly >_<. Now I actually wanna paint more wine glasses *_* (I have 2 more, so I actually can, but..as what?!).

Quilled Christmas Tree

Woops, I almost forgot my christmas tree made out of paper, the technix is called Quilling. You basicly roll up paper stripes (3mm) and then you give it the shape you want. After I got all the shapes, I made a paper cone and glued all rolls on there ^^ decorating with some hearts, and thats it, easy peasy haha xD

Sparkle Ball

Last but not least, A SPARKLE BALL *_* when I saw those on youtube here. I just had to make it, got the materials right away and made one! I only found out that I didn’t got the right cups, so I had to improvise a little *sigh I think it took me 4 hours ORZ. Oh well I am very happy with how it looks on my wall, so pretty *_*.

I hope you like what I made! Maybe some inpiration, maybe not for this year, but next year? ^^

With love,
Danielle
