Sunday Postcard "Bathing Beauties


The theme at Sunday Postcard is "Bathing Beauties". I made a piece with lots of texture, the idea being the feel of a sandy/rocky beach. The texture was created with PVA glue and tissue, embosing powder and texture paste. It was coloured with |Steward Gill Alchemy and Byzanthium paints and a bit of additional drawing with water colour crayons. The lovely bit of lace I received as an "extra" with a recent swap.

    A lovely bit of lace it is! The textured background is wonderful and I love the way you have reflected the bead colour in the lace to your background. Great postcard.
