Graduation Photo Framed

Graduation Photo Framed

Hi friends, I started this blog in 2010 to chronicle the various school projects and crafts I made with or for my little one . Many of you have seen her on my blog  and literally seen her grow up over the years. So this is a very special blogpost as I am sharing a frame I made to commemorate my little girl graduating 10th standard [equivalent to O levels]. Not only did she graduate  with flying colours but her school honoured her by presenting her with an award for excellence in academics over the  whole 10 year period.
Handmade Flowers
I framed her photo with lots of handmade roses inked, sponged and sprayed with a medley of colours to match the colours of my daughter's saree [ our traditional Indian dress]

Handmade Flowers
I used a variety of materials including paper, foam, sospeso and shrink plastic to make the flowers and leaves.

Handmade Flowers

The roses are made from very thick card stock to hold their shape well so they were quite time consuming to make.The foam flower was quick and easy to make.Here is the link for the foamiran flower tutorial

The heart shaped base is made of MDF. It was given a coating of gesso and I decoupaged it before adding all the flowers and leaves.

    My goodness Sonia how time flies, I well remember seeing photos of your daughter all those years ago and since and the projects along the way you made for teachers, how proud she is making you. The frame you have created for her is beautiful as is she in that lovely pink sari.

    My goodness, graduating? NO! How time flies.What a proud Mum you must be of her and her achievements to be honoured with the incredible award. She is a beautiful girl, and as for the frame? Beauty surrounding beauty. The frame will be a treasure, I'm sure, to remind her of what she has achieved.
