Now onto the inspiration!

From Faber Castell, I recieved sampler packs for Mixed Media Collageing.  From Gesso, to gel medium, water color pencils and glaze, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make another MM Collage.
This mixed media collage was created on Heavy Chipboard.  The background has been handpainted using Acrylics, gesso and watercolor pencils. 

 

 

This wonderful large fish from 100 Proof Press is so fun to play with!  There are so many ways he could be colored or used, and he is HUGE and stamps so crisp and clean !! 

 

Fish really do make the best form or travel!  With a great ocean floor view, and beautiful bubbles skittering about and heck, they are pretty fast when they think something is chasing them!

 

That's all for today!  Thanks so much for joining in the Hop today, I hope you are running to play with all your stamps and goodies now!

Have an amazing Monday!!
