Olga Heldwein's Mad Hatter hat

Is it a hat or is it a box ???

This is the hat Olga Heldwein made with her own hands and pad of paper from Lady Vagabond.

Its a wearable item, but can also just sit on your desk as fancy storage.

The books on the side work as tiny pockets for brushes or other artsy supplies and the top of the hat can be opened to put objects inside!

But the best part is Olga wearing it as the Mad Hatter herself...

Giant Lady Vagabond Egg by Belinda Basson

Dear Reader

Today it is my turn to share how I made my Lady Vagabond Egg as my Design Team post!

Below is a photo of all the main products I used, but I have listed them all at the end of this post.

I started with gesso and then while it was still wet, I pressed the crackle stamp into it to create texture.

Then I rolled out the Soft clay and pressed the texture impression sheet into it and cut the circles out.

I gathered up all the left overs and sprayed them with water and layered them all together, then rolled them out again, added the same impression sheet and cut them into strips to glue into the window.

I painted around the airship on the rice paper with water and tore out the ship. Using Mix media glue, I adhered it to the egg.

While that was drying, I applied some Texture sand paste with my finger.

When it was all dry, I painted it with the allegro paints and Aquacolors.

I added the soft resin airship to the side and coloured it with alcohol inks.

Hadry's Three Dimensional tag

Dear Reader

This is the fabulous three dimensional tag that Hadry created using Lady Vagabond chipboards, papers and the new clear printed acetate sheets.

The brads on the hinges look fabulous.

The Chipboards were painted with the Allegro paints and they look so old and textured under this acetate.

Shamela Hendricks made this elegant cupboard

Dear Reader

Today it is Shamela's turn to inspire you with her Lady Vagabond cupboard to house the mini album inside.

I love this group of chipboards that she put on the top to decorate it as well as all the moulded pipes and lights on the side.

The glitter in the Crystal resin looks amazing in this light bulb.

This is the A4 printed acetate that Shamela used in the doors.

Olga Heldwein's boat ballon

Dear Reader

Today is Ola Heldwein's turn to inspire you with this awesome Balloon Boat:

My boat obsession continues this time I made Hot air balloon with boat base as mood light.

It looks lovely in set up . Hot air balloon is made from tissue paper and it incorporates Lady Vagabond rice papers sewed into balloon base with some velum for sturdiness.

Inside we have string of fairy lights and when lit up it gives a nice subtle glow to whole space around. Base is built up from chipboard covered with paper scraps from 12x12 papers. Molds add a steampunk vibe to whole piece . I really appreciate fact that the collection is called Lady Vagabond you can use it to make also more masculine or neutral pieces .
