Loved for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This week on the Helmar Blog I've created a photo board of my friends fur babies

Make sure to check out the rest of the blog for some great ideas and handy hints on what else you can do with your Helmar Glue 


I started of with a timber frame that came in two pieces 

Then used white gesso to cover the top part only as the base will be filled with the photos


I then used Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint Rustic Brown around the frame

I drew around the inside of the frame so I knew where to put my photos it also helped with sizing of my photos

I used the Acid Free Glue as I was sticking photos down






To glue the frame to the board I used Super-Tac Glue as this one hold just about anything together I also used it to glue my embellishments down
The Super-Tac Glue comes out white but dries clear so you have no evidence of the glue afterwards
 
I was given the dog tags which was perfect for this project - I had to add but totally loved because these dogs certainly art
Each of the four dogs has a metal paw charm on thier photo for something special


This is Le Til she's the only girl amoungst the the four so I had to make sure she had a bow and a flower

This photo is of Roland when he was only about 8 - 10 weeks old he was so little

This is Vincent when he was a puppy if you look at the photos he's the biggest of them all now

Family is For Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This project for Memory Maze is for a very special friend who lost one of her family members Uncle Lyleczku one of her beloved poodles

I painted the canvas in Pomegranate Dylusions paint then stencilled over the top with impasto once it was dry I rubbed Vintage Gold wax over the top of the raised area to make it stand out more

I used the Family from the Family Hearts set and painted it in the same colour and rubbed it over with the gold as well then rapped the stem from the flower vine through it

Here I used Graphite paste through the Mini Noughts and Crosses Stencil so I could put some hugs and kisses because that's what this stencil is for me  

I used some of Tim Holtz word quote stickers and the ones I used were -

Hello my darling 

with brave wings she flies (I coloured out the s)

adventure awaits you

I thought they all suited his new adventure he was having up in heaven xx
