This is my Week 2 Mermaid using a photocopy of my own artwork collaged and painted over. I am still trying to catch up as this was Week 3. But I'll have a few weeks after the course to continue. I know we'll be doing 3 books, the shaped one, an art journal and one more.

I've been taking an online workshop with artists Teesha Moore and Jane Davenport called Mermaid Circus. I was hesitant about signing up due to the expense and my limited time available. But I'm really glad now I did. This was from Week 1. We are making a shaped hand-bound book from heavy watercolor paper. The rest is multi-media paints, pencils, markers and collage.

Mermaid Kite

This is a kite I made a couple of years ago, out of tissue and book wrapping paper, collage and cut paper. I enlarged the previous cutwork mermaid and glued to the kite. The tail was made from a decorative grass skirt and silk flower. We were decorating the office with them as a fun Summer beach theme.
