Sitting mermaid with twinkling H2Os

Sharon Diskin created this amazingly detailed underwater scene with Rubber Stamp Plantation stamps using Twinkling H2Os. She used the maile lei stamp as a sea plant, lehua blossom as a sea sponge, swirl sun for a spider star fish. Starring as themselves...shell honu, coral, sand dollar, etc. She created a similar scene on a cigar box purse.

Another Bodacious Bangle Bracelet...

I'm soooo addicted! I ordered more blank bangles and went crazy. I painted over 100 with Luminarte's radiant rain daubers...sponging the paints on. A bit of Lumiere paints for a little texture and more bling. This batch o bracelets are chunkier and super yummy! I went all out...sizes sm-xl. Flat, domed, thin to super thick. LOVE them...
I used the Islamic Border stamp, one of my favorites, and finally clear coated the bracelet with Tripple Thick by DecoArt.
Had a hard time giving this one up. Sent 60 to The General Store Gallery & Gift Shop in Kilohana, Lihue Kauai.

FYI...it's a video! Bodacious Beads!

Cousin to Bodacious Bangles that have turned out to be one of the most universally successful classes/demos/projects in a long time...I had a chance to work with DYI Bangles newest product. The beads vary in size and shape, have nice consistant holes drilled perfectly, and are well finished. Vijay from DIY Bangles sent me some wood beads to play with. Have a look see. I used Luminarte's Radiant Rain misters and daubers, Pallette Hybrid metalic ink pads, and the Islamic Border stamp...one of my favorite and most versitile designs. If I can find it, I'll post the Art Clay Silver pendant I made with the Islamic Border Stamp...
