Dog Mirror

I am normally a card crafter but have recently become interested in altered art/mix media/making stuff whatever you would like to call it. I went to my first craft show in September and found some lovely wooden dogs from Button-it Buttons. They did however come with holes in so I emailed them and the lovely lady said they could do them without holes in if I wished. I put in my order and they arrived super quick.
I don't normally plan projects but I had this one in my mind as to what I would like to do with the dogs. I bought some mirrors from ikea which had large outer edge/frame on them. I also purchased some wooden bones and planned on putting these on to it but decided against it once I had finished the dogs.

The top picture is the blank dog. I then put two coats of black emulsion onto each side and then proceeded to glitter it. I used a black holographic glitter. I did four dogs and each dog was glued onto the mirror in the four corners.

The finished mirror.

 

I am quite pleased with the finished article and hope you like it too.

Candles

I am not sure how I discovered about personalising candles but since I have I have loved it. I have done a few but only remembered to photograph three, Doh. This first one I made for my sister in laws Birthday

This one was for a local business where I used to rent a room (I am a massage therapist in case you didn't know)

This one is for the owner I made her when she wasn't feeling very well to cheer her up

The Candles can be personalised with words, pictures, photos. My next attempt I think will be trying to use my owl stamp to personalise a candle, I am a bit obsessed with this stamp at the moment.
