I followed the technique from Tim Holtz book 3 page 41 to work on the photo of my dear grandfather.
I started with a canvas board and added some Distress Stains and then some Texture paste through one of Tims Stencils and a piece of die cut I then set about adding things that reminded me of my grandad
Almost everything on this canvas has something to do with my Grandad the Sun Rays because he used to sing Sunshine on my Shoulder = the flowers because he loved his garden - when his budgie Joey died he buried it under a rose called Peace. The wings because he was in the Air Force during world war 2 - the TOT because his friends called him tot, he loved a tot of whisky- the number plaque - his door number and the bulb because he used to greet me with "Hello light of my life" The clock face because he always had a pocket watch
I finished off with an ideology word piece, some rub ons , a swirl and an arrow and some chitchat words
The Compendium of Curiosities is available direct from Tim or from your local craft supplier
