Here is my finished mermaid using elements from the sketches of my ladies in my previous post. I really like the new improved lips. This painting was created using acrylic paints, I stuck on tissue paper for the background which gave the sea a nice texture, I also used some patterned Japanese type paper for her top as well as the fish scales on her tale. I also used inktense pencils and for a final touch I used the bottom of an egg cup to print the bubbles over the top! I'm quite happy with the finished result and will be putting this one in my shop soon! :0)

How darn cute is this, I love her bikini top....
Oh, Nicola - she is beautiful! Love her! You asked about the resin I used in the pendant. If you would like to email me - diane at mixedmediamonday dot com, I'll give you some ideas - I lost all my email addresses when my computer died. Diane

Your painting creation is really beautiful, Nicola.

I'm a BIG fan of tissue paper as texture and this sea nymph is adorable, Nicola.
Just love the sparkle in her eyes. I use tissue paper a lot for texture and colour (and getting messy, one of my favourite hobbies!)
This one is a wide-eyed beauty for sure! Again, I find myself admiring the colors you use, as well as the interesting texture & movement you achieve. Just lovely.
She's sensational Nicola and the lips are divine!! I love her little top too! =D
