Under The Sea

Hi!

I am going to show you a mermaid

I created using not only Paverpol the hardener but

Paverpol's Art Stone.

 I went to visit my sister in Florida a few years ago and

came back with a few pieces of driftwood SOOO when

I thought I would create something with a mermaid

I figured this was the perfect time to use one the wood pieces!

 I actually added some PP to seal it and then sprinkled some

sand on top as well.

Once that dried I started on my mermaid.

I used a thicker wire, wrapped some aluminum foil and masking tape

and then coated her with t-shirt strips dipped in a cambo

of flesh and bronze PP.

(sorry I was making her while watching TV and forgot to get pics of that stage)

Since I had received my container of ART STONE (YEAH!)

I decided to try it out.

I added some grey PP mixed with a bit of red Paver color powder and 

"painted" her tail with it.

While still wet I added the art stone BUT wanted a mix of colors

so I just started dotting and dabbing a few powder Paver Colors.

The only thing I was worried about was once I got it the color I wanted

and the powder mixed in, it still had a dusty feel to it.

So I added transparent PP, but that took some of the pops of color away.

I ended up trying some yarn for hair...gotta work on perfecting that! 

 I think it still turned out pretty cool looking.

Trial and error, that's my middle name!
