A Quartet of Sea Creatures






A friend of mine saw the alcohol ink frame I made for a Christmas grab bag gift last December and asked if I would make a similar one for him.  It took me a while to get to, but last weekend, I got together for an art playdate and made this set of sea creatures!

There is something very relaxing and meditative about this process.  I learned not to get too attached to any one image it constantly changes as you add more alcohol ink or 91% alcohol.  The yupo paper is very forgiving, so it's easy to "erase" or remove color if you need to.  It was just the kind of project I needed for a lazy Sunday playdate!

P.S. The jellyfish and octopus are my favorites!
