Circle Journal

So last week it was posting time again for the circle journal girls.

This time i was making a page and a tag for Marie, after stalking her I found out she loves the beach...so I decided on a Seahorse themed page.

I sketched the seahorse first..



















then inked the main lines in..


















and coloured it with watercolour pencils.. before cutting it out...


















I sprayed the book pages..















and then painted a couple of iridescent glazes over them.. at this point I also tangled the seahorse..












next I drew and coloured some underwater plants and fishies.. I stamped some bubbles and  then allowed some paint to drip down the pages. i went over the drips and the plants with glittery gel pens.















Finally to make the seahorse sparkle i added some silver leafing, he kinda looks like he has barnacles stuck to him now lol





















Then I stuck the page together and added my title, which is the name of a song from the film The Water Babies.. i also added some rays of light coming down into the water just using a white prisma pencil.
















Finally I coloured the tag and added this quote..

    This is as usual fantastic Darcy. So can't wait to see all our journals complete ... I imagine a fair amount of swapping them around and oohing and ahing in July.

    Very perty. Got my little bundle today. Did you do the postcard?, it's amazing....When your work looks good on a blog it must be out of this world in the real-life :)

    I didn't realize how deep your well of talent extends! This is fabulous. So detailed! My absolute favorite bit of all the great bits, is the tangle patterns in his scales. This is outstanding!
