Under the Sea



Hiya!

I'm back again with another mixed media piece. Over at Mixed Media World we have a gorgeous new challenge:

*** Under the Sea ***

The sponsor this month is That's Crafty with a £20 gift voucher!!

Here is my take on the challenge :)


A portrait of an ancient, under sea water world lost in time! Atlantis, maybe...


There is so much in this little concoction...


Metal Starfish (from Linda's Funkie Junkie Boutique), Art Stones from Prima - I just LOVE these, the texture they give, especially for 'sea; themes, they way paint travels around them - STUNNING!!


The bright white specks, can you guess what that is? It's just a sprinkle of embossing powder over a bit of wet medium, be it gesso, gels etc. It stands out so well, and creates a sort of sea foam effect.


The pearls are from my stash, but I went with a soft, fleshy pink colour instead of white as it looked more natural.


The statue figure is from Prima's new IOD moulds range. Painted with Art Alchemy as well as mica powders and sprays. I think I used nearly everything going - Prima Colour Blooms, Lindys, Izinks...


Some gorgeous Dusty Attic chippie sets the background for this magical under water world, laid on top of laces and stencils.

That's me for today, hope you get a chance to play along with us over at MMW, we always love seeing your entries!! 

Love and hugs
Georgie

I'd like to enter this in the Dusty Attic challenge for the July challenge:

  4. Wow!! This is beyond gorgeous, Georgie! Every detail is perfectly executed. It looks like something they'd have found buried deep under the sea inside the Titanic. It's both beautiful and haunting at the same time. I am in awe of you!!

  6. Georgie, you have really captured the mystery and decay of something left on the bottom of the sea with your fantastically crafted tag! Love the texture and the colors! That pinkish pearl is a perfect finishing touch! Well done and very inspiring! Hugs! PS Thank you for your generous praise on my recent post--wished I had waited one more day to post! Well, there's plenty more where that came from! And now I have so much inspiration!

  12. Me again:-))
    I keep coming back to your tag, Georgie! Would you mind if I created some kind of variation with my own spin on it (of course, it will never be as lovely as yours!). I've only recently started dabbling with mixed media. I am beyond inspired by your work!!
    Hugs,
    Nancy
