Tropical state of Mind - Michelle Carrick

I'm Back with my second project today...

Friends just chilling!!

For this project I Incorporated all gorgeous pastels.

I painted my wood white, adding sand to give texture and sanding the edges.

Wrapped string around the bottom half.

I then painted my little canvas with diluted green and blue paint.

I added real sea sand on the bottom half.

Wrapped string around the top half of the canvas.

Made tags out of a map and also made the palm tree out of normal leaves  just cutting one half of the leaf off. Then wrapped the wire with string holding them together.

I also included cocktail umbrellas.

For the all the chip boards I painted white first,

for the leaves I used green alcohol ink, 

For the sea enemies I used Blue alcohol ink,

for the title Tropical is Blue alcohol ink and state of mind is pink paint.

Lastly, for the bubble chip board I added sand for texture.  

I also included angle hair.

I placed and attached everything down as well as some metal shells and art stones to complete the look.
