Stella of the Sea (mixed media)
Just popping in today to share a canvas I did my grand daughter Stella who's turning 4 yrs. next week and loves anything to do with Mermaids. I purchased the Prima Doll Mermaid from The Cutting Garden some time ago and just now getting around to using it . I used a combination of paints, inks and paste to create the background . The gems were from my stash . Sand dollar ,star fish and other shells are from one of the beaches here in cape Breton that I go to often to collect shells and beach glass( so additive). I stamped the mermaid image several times and layered her, paper piecing her tail and hand drawing the scales with a marker. I hope she will be surprised when she opens it, just wish I could be there with her for her Birthday but hey Skype will have to do .

Beautiful underwater scene Marilyn!! Love your mermaid and her glittery tail, and all the wonderful shells! The cheesecloth background is awesome, it really looks like seaweed! Amazing piece! hugs :)
Hi Marilyn: I would love to see Stella's face as well! Her mouth will be a big round "O" with surprise. You did a fantastic job on this creation and she will treasure it for years to come.
Marilyn, this canvas for your granddaughter is darling! I love the colors and your mermaid is so cute! Beautiful background of those lovely shades of blues and greens. I also love all of your little "jewels of the sea". I know she will love this!
so darling
