Under the Sea

WOW! I'm so excited to share with you the news that my recent entry for the Craft Stamper magazine made the front cover.  This is such a privilege.  If you haven't read the Craft Stamper yet, i urge you to do so as this is the number one stamping and mixed media magazine.  There is always lots of inspiration from the design team, reader submissions and tutorials too.  www.craftstamper.com for subscriptions and further details.

I have used mostly Powertex products to produce this canvas and the embellishments on it.  Also some air dry clay for the mermaid's tail and the seahorses.  The ammonites are made with powertex and stone art, together with a stencil and Easy Structure.  Once everything had been attached, it was painted with ivory powertex.

The finished canvas shows all the lovely texture and colour.  Bisters were used to add the background colour, wiping back with a baby wipe until i was happy with the colour.  Then the fun bit was adding further colour to specific areas with power colour mixed with a small amount of varnish using a dry brushing technique.

Here are a few close ups showing the texture, seahorses and mermaid's tail.  The close up of the ammonite texture was kindly sent to me by the photographers at Craft Stamper.

When I started out with a blank canvas, i wasn't sure in which direction I was going to go, other than it was going to have a seahorse or two.  Once I had decided to use Powertex products, this just evolved as I went along.
​I'm pleased with the result and had such a lot of fun making this.  I hope you like it too and would love to hear your views.
​Join me again soon on my next creative adventure......
