I ran across this video the other day while trying to learn more about mixed media techniques:
I had to try the octopus - so cool. I know my next one will be better.
Sponged distress oxides and non-oxides on the bg, stenciled i some more colors, then water distressed and sponged on some more. The layered in the sponged and sprayed die cuts and seashell.
The octopus was so fun to make. I have to tell you a funny story. I told hubby I didn't have any meat thawed out, and he told me to just eat what I wanted and he would eat something later. Then I remembered I had some sausage and made some sausage and peppers. He came in the kitchen and asked what I had in the oven. I told him I had some octopus. I then pulled out this sculpture - wow the look on his face was so fun!

Dear Nancy I have no idea how I have missed your creations in the gallery...maybe because I don’t check it daily might have something to do with it lol. Wow wow wow...I want to know how you made this. I can just picture your DHS face when you pulled this beauty out of the oven. Good job he didn’t eat it lol..I love octopus. This is amazing. TFS. Big hugs my friend
On another note, your mailbox is full and I’m trying to send you a video to try lol. Happy day.
