The Three Muses - Key

Here's my entry, it's a mixed media painting on canvas board, 12x14 inches.
The Key...
The background was painted and stenciled, the mermaid was painted and drawn and embellished with plaid glitter, I stenciled texturepaste around the bottom edges of the canvas and embellished with pearls, bling, pieces of broken seashells etc. I painted with shimmerpaint when dry and used some gold rub n buff. The heart was filled with papiermache paste and the key was embedded into the paste, it was painted and I used some rub n buff gold on the heart as well. I also used a prima pearl swirl.

seafloor detail...
Thank you so much for looking!!,
hugs and smiles,
Linda
