I spend a great deal of time looking into the tide at the ocean bottom for what it has to offer. Your clipboard is like a snapshot of what I see as I'm wading and searching!. Stunning depth (love the crackle finish on the bubbles!) and I love the organic feel of your elements. Just wow!!!!!

I love the idea of an altered clipboard! Yours really evokes the colours of a summer's day at the beach - the kind I remember from childhood holidays in Devon and Cornwall. I can imagine gazing into rock-pools as I look at this blog post. It's beautiful, Alison. I'm sorry I'm so behind with commenting, as I've been doing an on line course and also my Mum has been ill with a chest infection. xxJulie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113706312817154503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-59673773964210494332015-08-06T14:45:48.313+02:002015-08-06T14:45:48.313+02:00So many mediums yielded such awesome texture Aliso...So many mediums yielded such awesome texture Alison!

Love the crackle/gloss on your background bubbles and the seed bead pebbles interspersed with your shells and starfish, netting and glass pebbles is just perfect. The treatment of the clip is amazing, you evoke the feeling and image of breaking waves perfectly on it. Thanks so much for sharing this, it is just lovely and thanks for the ee cummings quotation, it's been many a year since I've heard it and love it still.

But, it's all in the name of art and creating, so it's OK :) :) <br />This is a magical day at the beach with you, Alison! You took me right back to my childhood spending time in tidal pools, exploring the small collections of sea water, touching starfish and sea anemones, finding hermit crabs and trying to coax them out of their shells to have a walk-about in the palm of my hand! I can feel the waves land at my ankles and I can feel the ocean spray on my skin :) Just lovely!! Oh, those carefree days!! Thanks for that brief stroll down the watery shoreline!!

Beautiful color combinations and I really love the added crackle to the bubbles. It gives them a wonderful translucence. Interesting process of adding all of your other elements. I love your found relatives. A perfect vintage picture for your background! I also love all of your words, anchor, shells and other dimensional pieces. Really a lovely clipboard!
