Under the Sea

 Here I am with my DT project for this week's anything goes challenge at Through the Craft Room Door Challenge Blog. Our sponsor is Polkadoodles and the prize is £9/$15 USD digi voucher!

This was my first time to attempt an underwater scene. Let me tell you... it was pretty gosh darn scary! lol Here's my project:

Click on the images for a closer look!

Here are a couple of close ups of the image:

Here's a closeup of the 'seaweed' made from pipe cleaners.

Here's the image before I added it to the canvas and covered it with seashells and pipe cleaners! lol

 Here's before I got brave with the 'water'! lol

 I planned to give this to a grand-niece but I'm having trouble parting with it! lol I'm sure I'll eventually part with it. But for now, it's hanging in my craft room so I can enjoy it a bit. It's the first thing you see when you come through MY craft room door! lol 

This is the canvas I purchased at Dollar General. I removed the iron ornate on top.

I've used Meribelle Pearl
