IC1055 For My Pirate

Photo Details

Poster: ArtzadoniStudio

Inspired by https://i.pinimg.com/736x/62/33/b2/6...427201f9c9.jpg
I grabbed this conglomeration of a mixed media experimentation panel from my stash. It practically has the kitchen sink on it. These three stamps salvaged it into something that my dearly departed, bareboat skipper, husband would have appreciated.

I love what you created here. The background is gorgeous with its mix of sweet flowers and that delicate butterfly, and the skeleton addition captures your inspiration so well. I’m really enjoying the wonderful blend of creations in the gallery today.

So cool, Lori. Very sweet to do something with a special memory involved as well. I love pirates and skulls so this one speaks to me. Hugz - extra ones.

This is such a cool interpretation of the inspiration image! This is why our craft rooms are so stuffed with pieces we worked on yet decided not to use but couldn't part with! The way the stamped flowers drift up from the skull echoes the spray of blooms in y0ur inspiration. Your husband had excellent taste!

The mixed media depth in this piece is striking. The weathered panel gives the skull a sense of history, and the floral spray drifting upward softens the imagery in a way that feels intentional and personal. The tiny butterfly is a perfect counterpoint to the bold focal elements, adding a quiet lift. The whole composition reads as both rugged and tender, and the connection to your husband makes it even more compelling.
