This stamp image is called Seagull Roost - I stamped and masked it before painting to get the effect of waves crashing against the pilings and rocks. The waves are painted with a 'scruffy brush' - that is one of Donna Dewberry's one-stroke brushes. I was able to tie the sailor knot by studying a photo I googled... still sort of impressed with myself (although I'm sure I could never do it again on my own)!
