Hello!
I am delighted to announce that today at Vera Lane Studio we have TWO new set releases, and they are both Mermaids!
Mini Mermaid Set 1 has fishes and Mini Mermaid Set 2 has sea shells.
I decided to create two mixed media pieces, one for each set. I used 5 x 7 inch canvas board and mounted the canvases in deep frames without the glass, so that the dimensional elements would not be flattened.
The first one used the Mini Mermaids Set 1 with fishes; notice that one of the mermaids has a fishy bikini top:
The images are coloured with Copic markers and have white Posca pen highlights, They are fussy cut ready to be attached to the canvas.
The backgrounds were made with Distress Oxides in Evergreen Bough, Stormy Sky, Broken China and Faded Jeans applied directly to the canvas then spritzed with water. Whilst still wet, a sprinkling of Emerald Isle Infusions was added. A light spritz of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist adds a bit of iridescent shimmer.
Once dry, crackle texture paste was added through a stencil along with white and black paint splatters. Seaweed was die cut from card which was coloured with Infusions through a stencil and arranged along the base of the canvas. Sea shells from set 2 were shaped and added on foam. The mermaids were glued directly onto the canvas and the fishes were shaped and added on foam. Golden Prills and art stones were glued at the base to represent sand.
Here are close ups of the two mermaids:

This canvas was made in the same way as the first one. The close ups are below:

ReplyDeleteWhat is the kelp made of Carole?
ReplyDeleteIs that the right word? The long leaves floating from the bottom.
They are die cut from thin card that has Infusions (pigment powders) sprinkled through a leafy stencil, then with stencil still in place give a light spritzing of water to activate the pigment. xx
DeleteThis is just so adorable - I love it. Thanks for joining us at Allsorts challenge.
