Of the many things that I like, those that go into detail and that I can say that I love are keeping with me some memory of a moment that I share with my family and friends. If we go to a place where I can buy a keychain, something that reminds me of that day, I gladly do it. I am one of those types of people who have their own little box with objects that I have saved like letters, bracelets, ornaments and other things from the moments that I have lived and what my friends have given me like their beautiful letters. A few days ago I was able to see a nice image that said save photographs because it may be the only memory that you have of the person and the place and that is very true, that is why I like to save small details that make the difference for the memory...
Before I start telling you how I made this beautiful memory, I welcome you, yes! to a new blog and well, I hope you feel comfortable and that it is to your liking. It's been a while since I last published here in this community, which for me by the way is one of my favorites @hivediy I thank the team for their trust and the support they give to each one of us.
Precisely because of my trip to my town and the beach, I had not been able to show you my crafts and handmade works that I love to do for you and share them here, but we are back with a lot of energy, many creative ideas and with high spirits because beautiful works are coming. I tell you from now on, well, be aware of everything that I will upload here and well, thus bringing you my ideas about recycling, which by the way I want to do many things with respect to it and the issue of taking care of the environment, so from now on we begin with this first craft.
This craft that I wanted to make is a beautiful painting with shells in the shape of a flower that reminds me of the beach and the day I went there, curiously that day we went with my uncle to collect several shells that were out of the water and by the rocks buried in the ground and it occurred to me to grab some to take them and bring them to my house so I could make a little souvenir, it occurred to me to make a painting with these shells and put the name of the beach in ink below one side of the heart and the date of the day I went, I used recycled materials to do it, it didn't cost me much so it is something that I invite you to do at home, go ahead with the process.

Procedure / Procedimiento:
Paso 01
Step 01
Let's start by cutting my cardboard to the size I prefer, as it was a bit long in the shape of a rectangle, so I cut it down 6.5 cm in length on both sides, made a line and simply cut it to reduce the size of the base cardboard.
Paso 02
Step 02
As a next step I started cutting strips of 1 cm wide each, here I cut 16 in total, 8 long ones for the sides and 8 long ones for the top of the frame.
Paso 03
Step 03
To give a very nice finish to the edge of my frame I decided to glue and join the pieces with my silicone and with my black cold paint start painting on both sides and top and bottom, when I painted the first one I decided to put on a second coat of paint since the color of the cardboard was still visible.
Step 04
Step 04
Here I went on to cover my cardboard with the paper and blank sheet first on the top part and then glue it on the bottom, I began to glue the pieces and edges of the frame along the sides and arrange them well then I proceeded to glue each piece in its place with silicone.
Paso 05
Step 05
I finished making a heart on a sheet of paper that I had so that my table would not get stained, then with the help of the scissors I cut it out, I will be using this heart to make the heart mold inside the frame and where I will be gluing my shells, I draw the edge with the pencil and with an eraser I will erase a little so that it can only be barely seen where I have marked with the pencil, I will be ordering the seashells then I will glue them one by one arranging them in their place so that they form the heart, after gluing I will write with my black ink pen "Memory of crab beach 10/19/24" that was the day I went to that beach, this way I have finished doing it.
