I have a page to share with you today for the Sketchabilities #119 sketch.
I have been wanting to do a beachy page of Joe, for a while now and this sketch just lent itself to the idea in my head. So I created a mixed media page.
I used the super Pink Paislee collection, Nantucket. I really do love it.
I used some real shells, along with my chippies and woody pieces.
For the sun I cut a circle from one of the yellow patterned papers and really liked these little seahorses facing one another. Then I just added some thready wool and it became a sun! I thought it turned out nicely.
I used lots of paint, sprays, stamps, dry walling tape and gesso. I really did enjoy playing with all of these mediums.
Overall, it still has a pretty clean look....
This photo was taken last year, when Joe and I were at Salt Rock in September...it really was such a nice time for us and we really did have a blast!
Thanks so much for popping by.
I hope you have a super evening!
