Hello, friends!
Today, I am so excited to share my new Mixed Media creation, my favourite now and this is based on the Mini Challenge at More Than words with an amazing theme- "FUN"!!!
I have always loved the beauty and mystery surrounding the mermaids. I imagined having glamorous chests full of sunken jewellery, swimming all day, bathing in the sun on rocks, fun in the open sea. Journey under the Sea is always magical and fun!!!
And I am very much inspired by a very talented Indian crafter Rajni Ji's Mixed Media creation which is always mind blowing!
I started with my gorgeous mermaid stamp which I recently won from The Greeting Farm stamps. And when I saw Merisa I know how to represent this beauty in my MM creation! I inked my image with Danube blue, then I made a big dough of Modeling clay and pressed my stamp into the clay with little pressure. It was just amazing to see the results on clay first time, really fun :)
Then I cut the extra clay with my clay tools- knives and shaped it. Then coloured it with different acrylic colours, paint. While painting her eyes, lips and eyebrows I used a toothpick to colour properly.
After that, I decided to choose some beautiful PP for backing layers. I toned down the scalloped PP using Gesso. Then played with London blue acrylic paint, misted with water. Using Bubble stencil I applied embossing paste and randomly stencilled using gesso with Mini specimens. Then distressed the edges.
Next, I randomly tore a corrugated sheet and applied acrylic paint on them and covered them with my golden net. Now I assembled my layers on white card base using Pop dots.
I gave all my chipboard cut outs a coat of gesso. Die cut some bamboo sticks as sea weeds and Coloured my big circle, flourishes using MM elements. Now embossed my flourishes and Bamboo sticks using seafoam powder from Wow.
The next step was to make a shaker for which I embellished with some bamboo sticks, sea shells, cute fish, sparkling dots, transparent beads as shaker elements on a Textured white backing circle which is lightly coloured and perfect to create the sea scene!
Now die cut a double scalloped border to create the waves out of a textured felt sheet. Fussy hand cut a golden net. And arranged all these layers on my panel. I embellished my mermaid with some coloured beads and a gorgeous flower. I coloured my anchor, sea shells, dolphin and arranged a cute Sea- scene! Now tied the anchor charm with a golden- white thread to a Believe metal tag and placed my puffy FUN embellishment which has glittered!
I really enjoyed this FUN Mixed Media creation! Hope you also enjoyed!
