It was kinda surreal to be designing a summer themed project right after our first snow fall of the year and temperatures in the 30's, but nice too. Thinking about the summer for me, means Panama Beach Florida where I vacation every year...beach, sun, swimming...::sigh::
This is my 6 x 12" wall hanging that I designed:
This was my first time experimenting with Helmar's Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid and I must say I was delighted and will definitely use this again. Not only was I able to mold it to the shape that I wanted ( I laid a piece of wax paper over my sea horse so that I could mold the curve to match ) but after it is treated, you can paint on it and the inks don't bleed like they normally do when applied to fabric.
After the lace piece had dried, I adhered it with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
Adding decorations with my Helmar's Gemstone Adhesive:
Enjoying playing with my typography and lettering:
The paper came from the Frosted Designs October Mixed Media Kit, on top of the paper was a lot of layering of these products:

This is so wonderful. I love the sentiments and your hand writing is wonderful! Great project.
Delightful...love your pretty seahorse, and enjoyed seeing the how-to pictures too. What a wonderful hanging to remind you of sunny Panama Bch when you're looking outside at the dreary days we've had lately. We heard our neighborhood got snow flurries Thanksgiving as well. We were glad to be in So. Fla! TFS & Hugs
