OK guys, I'm alittle out of it with my friend passing away. Mark's wife would like one of the pieces to be a dog bone. I have an idea of the mechanics but need alittle help. Use one sheet of styro foam or what? Any help will be appreciated

Hi Darlene,
I remember the pieces V is talking about. It seems to me they were in the beginning threads of the funeral designs thread. She used flat styro-foam and then cover with her cushions. Then she air-brushed, but you should be able to do it with your design master - I would use almond. If you are any good at all in painting or pastels, use those talents to put some shading in for the rounded joint areas.
Is it from a beloved pet? I assume it will be on an easel.
But there are other things you can do if it is flexible.
You could do something in a very large dog dish or other large container, and make the bone smaller with a brick of oasis. It isn't that hard to shape it, and then do as above. Use toothpicks for your mechanics either way. Then, do a spritely arrangement in an asymetrical design around the bone propped at an angle.
Hope that helps, when is the visitation?

Her name was Treen, I think that is who V is talking about.
I would use a foam sheet and then cut it to shape and cover it with white double xanths. You could then spray it buscuit coloured like it is a buscuit bone. I would be tempted personally not to put a spray on it just to keep it simple. JMHO

Mark passed away in WI on Saturday.They had to wait until today to be able to have him sent home.We meet with the funeral home today at 2:00pm so hopefully visitation is on Thursday.
Yes,it will be from Mark's little one,Mia.I can't remember what type of dog she is. Doesn't matter but I think it will be on an easel.Or Nancy (Mark's wife ) may want it in the casket lid. So it maybe smaller. I'll know more later. Thanks much

Okay Darlene,
I don't know if you were able to search the threads or not, but here is an example for you.
