Lis, this is gorgeous!! I just love how you upcycled a plate and your display stand really sets it off!! Thank you so much for joining in the RB challenge!!
Wow, this is amazing! Love the history of the plate too before becoming this work of art. I love the mermaid you chose and the layers that you created to make the backdrop has my mouth hanging open in awe!
Look at you!!!! Lady of many talents!!! What a fantastic transformation! The textures and details are incredible! I love the iridescent glow you achieved! The mermaid is magnificent!
Quite the transformation! Sounds like your plate had many lives and the fact it came from your mum makes it all the more special! I love your mermaid theme and colors! The way you used your mm makes it look like an underwater rock reef. Beautiful up cycle Lis and ty for joining the challenge!
My first mixed media upcycle project! This started as a white melamine plate that is a hand-me-down from my parents' move, then was a plant dish, then lazy susan liner before finally serving as one of SamSam's food dishes.
I gesso'd the plate then painted it with two shades of blue acrylic paint. I slid on a trimmed piece of Dress My Craft transfer sheet and coated it with ModgePodge to seal. Using gift-wrap tissue paper and more ModgePodge, I smushed it around to make the ocean floor. I painted it with a little watercolor paint then dabbed on Art Anthology sand paste and color medium to add more texture. I sprayed the shells with Dylusions sprays (was surprised the color took), dabbed on the leftover paint from the previous step and added a little glitter for sparkle. There's a pearl in the clam shell (for the Daily Inspiration challenge). I also added some black sand bits and Reneabouquet micro beads with gel medium. For the Reneabouquet mermaid, I started with watercolors, layered on Wink of Stella to give her some shimmer and used an alcohol marker to color the edges.
All in all, I like how this turned out!
