another box ?

Tellen's Place have challenged us with a beach party this week. As I commented earlier - the character that immediately came to mind was the marvelous image of "clawed". However, Lyn had already used him to perfection. So which image to choose instead? I wanted to show two faces of "the beach". Both the sunny, fun side and a darker, more sinister side. Gorgon, in my mind would make an ideal "sea witch". So started the journey into the unknown.
Three sides of the box depict a normal sunny afternoon at the beach, it's the fourth, the entrance to the cave that would take us into the darkness beneath.
Using the same technique as described by Lyn aka Black Dragon on her blog for create your own backing paper for stampInsanity, I painted and daubed bits of card. Making boulders, a simple sea side background, the cave and then under the sea. The freebies from Tellen's Place were the ideal occupants for the beach. I took the liberty of slicing off the frames of the Selina Fenech mermaids going to the party for 2 of the sides and added a couple of small line drawings for the mermaids swimming up from the depths.



So we have four sides - now enter the cave and have a look around.........











Thanks for looking and for taking this journey with me.
