Underwater Dream

Welcome to the Blog Hop Buried Treasure hosted by the fab

Seth Apter!!

Afternoon Folks

I have always had and still do have a "thing" for fairies...LOVE tinkerbell!!!

Most of my artwork lately has been inspired by these fantasy creatures.

Underwater fairies to me are mermaids ...that was the inspiration for this piece

I am in love with the "seaweed hair"

The colors: Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint were my inspiration as well as my new bottle of Dylusion Spray...London Blue :-)

Her face was painted with layers of arcylic paint, gesso, colored pencils, green pitt pens, and my favorite white gel pen!!!

The strips of different washi tape gave this whole project life...I also used my White Gelato Stick to highlight.  I tore the washi tape and placed it randomly along the hairline mixing the three patterns.

Love the big flowers (starfish?) they added more texture...the burlap looks like more seaweed. They were colored with the same inks as the background but I did add the Dylusion Spray Dirty Martini here and there for shadow.

I used a gesso resist for the background.  The stencil is "mini art" from TCW.

I highlighted those words with Metallic Gold Gelato Stick.

Thanks for stoppiong by and be sure to visit eclectic Paperie for all your mixed media needs :-)

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
