Good morning, Oddies! Alexis here ready to celebrate one of my favorite times of the year! MERMAY!! Have you even SEEN the fantastic new images in the shop this month? So far there are already 5 adorable mermaids to play with. I started with Mergaze and I’m slowly working my way through the rest!

Because of her shield looking chest piece, I just kept thinking GOLD when I saw her, so I colored her completely in gold tones, from her hair to her tail, as if she were a pretty statue. But obviously not. She’s like a mermaid warrior queen! 

My next project will be using Waiting Mermaid Mae, so stay tuned!

Hi Oddies!

This is the perfect month to take advantage of the “mermay” excuse to color mermaids.
Although next month will be because summer is close, and the next because it is summer. I love mermaids!
This is the last stamp, the new and most recent: Musician Mermaid.

As soon as I saw her, I knew it was going to be for my card this month from this blog of Some Odd Girl.

She is so pretty…

It took me a while to choose a theme because I hesitated between choosing something musical or something marine. I have added some small notes to the background paper, but I have opted to do something marine and choose blue and very soft tones.

I hope you like it, thanks for your visits. See you soon!

Hi Oddies! It’s May and in Odd-land thats means mermaids! Of course, you just have to listen to the word: mermaid…mermai..mermay! Thats right!

So I’ve got some mixed media tags for you today, with two beautiful new mermaids, Mergaze Mae and Waiting Mermaid Mae.

Waiting Mermaid Mae is sitting on some collage made of some vintage bookpages and sewing patterns. On top of that I’ve added some acrylic paint through a couple of stencils. Then I just scribbled a little, splattered some paint, added som thread and chose a Small Talk-sticker.

The other tag I put through my diecut machine to add some bubbles in the background. Then I once again used acrylic paint but here I just played with my fingers and water to get a nice effect. I added som highlights on the bubbles with some scribbles and white acrylics. Finally I once again added som vintage bookpaper, splatters, thread and a Small Talk-sticker.

I sea you around/ Hugs Susanne
