No fish this week, but a different creature under the sea. I used some very old Lumiere Fabric paint. The lid was taped on and was difficult to remove and the paint was nearly dried out. But I was able to use some fabric medium, whlch lasts forever, and get it to a paintable consistency. I used it for the body of the jelly fish and for the waves in the background. I also added a little bit of dimensional pearl paint.
The twirly bits of the tentacles were made by couching down 6 strands of embroidery floss with one strand of the same color. I don't think I had done hand sewn couching before and it was fun to do. I have a couching foot on my Bernina, but this was all hand embroidery.
I think he's kind of cute. What do you think?
I'm linking up with Off the Wall Friday. Go check out what some talented people are doing. And leave some comments. We all love comments!
