Here's my entry for the Altered Pages Blog Challenge #12. Because the theme this month is GREEN, here is a mermaid book that I created.
Materials used:
- watercolor paper
- my own outline drawing of a mermaid template
- rubber stamps for the faces, hair, tails, sand dollar hairpiece
- stencils for more layers on the tails
- paper scraps from my green bin for the bras
- lots of bling--white and yellow pearls in several sizes, silver disks, gemstones in a variety of colors
- pencil for body details
- Micron pen for writing on the mermaid poem, "Mermaid Fair" (found on-line)
- ink for rosy cheeks applied with a rag and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to ink the edges of each page
- hole punch, tiny; iredescent ribbon threaded through to tie the pages together
