Someone rightly said, "Necessity is the mother of invention".
I was out of clay, white gesso etc and had no sea shells with me. I wanted sea shells for my project and started exploring options on what can be done. I came across a recipe for homemade clay and wanted to give it a try. And voila! He made clay with excellent results.
I made my own set of shells and an octopus using this clay(you can check the pics for the making process collage attached)
Next for the color theme I wanted white gesso, which again I had ran out! Made this too at home and used it to prime my Canvas( Had ran out of this too hence used a sweet box for the same π) So now you know, why the sentiment added is "Believe". Because, if you believe you can, you will π
I am in love with this mixed media canvas I made and proud of it actually. Be it the colors, be it the elements used, be it the layout, you name it and I love it all ππ It doesnt happen every day for me. There is one thing or the other I always have a problem about in my work. Yes, I am my biggest criticπ
I hope you guys like it as much as I love it π
Please do let me know what you guys think of it π
I was inspired by the shades of blue and the star fish from the mood board of Splashmix Challenge -April.
