Mixed media Art with Helmar Woodworking Glue

Hello everyone,

Today I am on Helmar blog with their woodworking glue. I am falling in love with these Helmar glue.

For the past couple of weeks I have been creating this mixed media project for Helmar and I liked the way I can use this glue to stick my heavy object just like you can do with Helmar450. The glue dies clear which is plus point for any mixed media project.

Here is what I have created.

Materials to make this photo frame:

• Clay
• moulds of items you want make to stick on the frame
• photo frame
• helmar wood working glue
• Sprays ( I have used a varity of them like shimmers, lindy's and Prims
• Finnabar Alchemy's
• Gold wax
• Black gesso
• Brushes

Steps:

• First I used some clay and mould to get my shapes out. I left them to dry overnight.
• Next day I arranged all pieces and stuck them with the help of Helmar Woodworking Glue

• Once they were all stuck , I had some stone stand which I bought from a dollar shop. I stuck them all over my frame too with the help of the Helmar woodworking glue.

• Once I have finished I leaf the frame to dry overnight.
• Next day I went ahead and coloured everything with Black gesso
• After the gesso was dried , I coloured and also used sprays.

Then to finish off my project I have used Inka gold to brush on top for final touches.

And this was the final result.

Hope you all like it.

Please do leave me a comment.

Thanks

Helmar design team Project Foamiran flower

Hello Everyone

Hope you all are keeping well and staying safe.

Today ,I am so excited to be part of Helmar design team.

I have made a flower with foamiran using Helmar 450 Glue. For this purpose I have made a video for you all to have a look on making flowers with Foamiran.

In the video you will see I have used a 5 petal flower die for my fuchsia flower. You can use any 5 petal flower die for this flower.

For my colouring : You can cetainly use the coloured foamiran. I have used white. The colours which I have used are oil pastel from Mont marte but if you don't have then you can also use like your gelatoes , distress inks but just heads up ,with the water based colours they tend to fade quickly overtime which I have realized with my flowers.

For Glue, I always used Hot glue for my foamiran but I always had a big question if the Helmar would work with it or not. So Yes it does work and in today's Video I have used Helmar to Stick my flowers.

Here is the list of the products I have used in my projects and a Video for you to enjoy.
