How a fish tale grows
My daughter went on a fishing trip with friends. Here is their catch of the day.
My Sweet Earth challenge for July is to use these friendly colors and asked what we would like to grow. Well, besides a tall tale but also life long friendships.
Here is the sketch I used from Sketchbook365.
Today I decided to tryout a couple of techniques I have seen floating around the blogs. I used color spritzing, color washing and chalking with a stencil. I gessoed the cardboard frame and used it to add that white washed effect you see at the shore. The tendrils of cheese clothe sea weed have been chalked. Of course, I need to have my bit of whimsy which is the fish at the end of the rope. Who could make up a story like that!
I added beads for added beach"y" effect on the sea weed and frame. The fish and frame were hand made which is the DIY project over at Scrap Your Story .
Thank you for stopping by to see what the papers are saying today. I always enjoy your visit!
