The return of Black Pearl

  Hello again!

 I saw a green glow on the horizon.
That means a soul from the realm of the dead is returning to the world. 

Here it is: the Black Pearl, as promised in my last post.
I enjoyed upcycling an old book again. 

I combined the MDF shapes with paper cutouts, used moulds (pirate head)

and modelled octopus arms.

Secrets of the Sea

 

 Hello!

 

 The ship was pulled underwater by the octopus. 

Sharks circle and guard this grave. 

Experts think it could be the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship

 that was doomed to wander the oceans.

I created a shadow frame in mixed media style, for this I had to completely destroy 

this new pirate ship, omg. It's broken into pieces on the ocean floor, 

but someone will fix it up soon. 😉

 See you soon!

In the deep. Little ocean themed plaque by Louise Crosbie.

 

Hi there.  

I’m sharing this little deep ocean themed plaque today. While I often use craft parts as embellishments to larger projects, this project is about 90% craft parts. Very soothing to work on as all I had to do was pick out the parts I wanted and glue them down to create a scene. I used a stencil on the background first then I used little cobble stones to create the pebbles at the bottom of the ocean floor  I added some mini art stones to create a sand effect.

Once all my parts were glued down and secure, I gave everything a coat of white gesso then added colour. A bit of dry brushing restored the detail.

Some sequins and glitter added a touch of magic. I’m thinking of turning this into a mini album cover as I have another plaque the same I could turn into the back cover and bind the book with mini book rings.
