Gothic Arches - Mermaid

The Gothic Arches challenge for Sunday of this week was mermaids. Here is one of the most famous mermaids of all - the Copenhagen mermaid statue.

My background is of alcohol ink and gold embossing. The shiny blobs are Omni-Gel.

    I've not heard of Omni gel, but anything that results in such pretty "shiny blobs" is right up my alley! Beautiful work!

    What a perfect background. I look at the mermaid and wonder what she might be thinking.

    Thanks Faye for stopping by my website and also for the lovely compliments on my mermaid. I have been working with Photoshop now for over ten years. I recently took a class called, "Creating art using Photoshop." It really helped me to break open and acheive some amazing results. I feel as though I've found *HOME* if you know what I mean. I dance around digitally and it is a fast paced waltz with a little tango splashed in. I feel very grateful for the skills that I have. It brings me so much joy.
