So….here I am with my underwater journal page.
The crackle paste added yesterday looked like bubbles - rubbed them over with Baltic Blue and it was the paint colour that gave me the under sea idea!
The grasses from Darcy's Eclectica EDY09 became a shoal of fish, the seaweed was made using the stem from the umbel in the same set and the leaves and pods from EDY10.
A few of the random dots and blobs from Sara Nauman's Eclectica set ESN09 made more bubbles.
Finally the quote, masked and stamped to make bigger spaces between the lines. I noticed the little dots around the bottom of the quote so masked and added more bubbles with those.
I am linking to The Paper Artsy Paint Topic 3 Paint challenge.
Thanks for looking, Chris

This is a beautiful underwater scene Chris, I love the grasses at the bottom and those bubbles look amazing. Hugs, Anne xx
Love the texture on the bubbles, remind me of limpets! Xx
It is brilliant, Chris! One of my favourites of yours.
Just been watching Countryfile and the theme was the sea....

Some fab techniques Chris, the crackle looks wonderful and it does make the underwater theme extremely reel (couldn't help the play on words lol). Fantastic page:-) xxx
An amazing sense of movement on your page with beautiful texture. You certainly convey the sense of the underwater world.

Your bubbles really look like they are floating in the sea, Gorgeous colors too. Makes me long for summer breezes and salt air!

WOW, this is a super mixed media art journal entry. I LOVE IT. I'd love to be able to make art like you. You make it look almost effortless, but I know it isn't.
There's a wonderful watery look to this, and I just love the crackly bubbles - brilliant!
