"On The Beach" for Mixed Media monday


I'm afraid crafting is a bit slow and erratic at the moment as I've done my back in, so I've been spending most of my time feeling sorry for myself, and cuddling a hot water bottle....!
I've managed to finish a 4x4 for Rosie's "Beach" theme at MixedMediaMonday and hopefully I can get some more things finished soon.
The "sand" is silicone glue covered with gold dauber. The "waves" are strips of scalloped card, edged with ink and layered. And the image, which I tinted with ink, is from the Bill Blanton archives.
I was hoping to think up a witty caption for this but nope ...nothing...so I think my brain has gone the same way as my back...Lol!
Thanks for popping by x

RubyMay, this is gorgeous! I'm so sorry to hear about your back - I know how horrid that is. Take it slowly and spoil yourself for a while. Diane

I love your bathing beauty RubyMay. Sorry to hear about your back but it obviously hasn't affected your artistic talent! I hope you're better very soon.

RubyMay, I so am glad you found the tut for Mile-A-Minute on my Patchwork Pie blog!
I believe a simple technique opens the door to great creativity.
Although I have to keep a tight rein on myself craft-wise, and try to concentrate on quilting, I love to see all sorts of altered everythings, and LOVE your blog!

Sorry to hear you've been suffering with your back and I do hope it's better soon.

Hi Rubymay!! So sorry to hear you've hurt your back... you have my sympathy mate!! I love your 4x4 - clever girl layering the card to make waves - cool!
Living in Cornwall is wonderful, sunny and a happy place to be, thanks! Once next Tuesday has come and gone, we'll be bale to get into it properly! xoxoxo

Beautiful Bathing Beauty Ruby May!! Hope the back feels heaps better soon, till then, play when you can and cuddle the hot water bottle!! (the idea of cuddling a hot water at the moment is totally un-appealing, its 38 degrees here)!!
