What is it about seahorses that is so ridiculously adorable? They seem so gentle and strange. And there are so many different kinds! I LOVED the seahorses at the Monterey Aquarium and spent most of my time between them and the sea lemons.
I was so excited when Yana told me that my beloved Dawn Woleslagle had designed this seahorse/sea themed collection. There are few things I love more than both Dawn and seahorses.
I used alcohol ink and my gel plate to create the background. Then I used Juniper and Grape Jam inks (which you'll see in an hour) for two of the seaweed images on that print, and gold ink for the third. The Seahorse is colored with OLO Markers. This combo of aqua and violet will never get old for me.

Then I used the foiling dies in this collection with watercolor paper to create the debossed sentiment and jellyfish. My brayer still had alcohol ink on it from the print, so I spritzed it with alcohol and then rolled it over the debossed paper to make the images pop. I love the distressed look so much.
I don't eat sea creatures - I just admire them!
What is your favorite sea creature? Jellies are beautiful too, but I've been stung by enough of them on Texas beaches that I'm wary!
Seahorses and sea lemons are still my faves.

I had never heard of a Sea Lemon! Learned something new! Slugs were not something I associated with pretty until I saw the sea versions. They were just terrors of the garden before that. I love jellies-they are so peaceful to watch. If you are ever in Boston-they have a terrific tank. I love Sea horses, rays, sea turtles, penguins, whales, starfish, red octopi...well I just guess I like a lot of things! Why Blue Planet is one of my fav shows. :) The cards are very pretty! The seahorse looks neon!
