High Water Mark

Description

High Water Mark began with the use of Tsukineko inks and a shaving cream marbling technique to make the uneven blue, brown and green sections, then I used beads to hold an irregular bunching pattern for the waves, pebble beads for the beach, and a combination of seed beads and bugle beads for the land. I took one strand of rather funky yarn to make the high water line. I added just a few strokes with a felt pen and green ink for the final palm tree.

This is the only piece I’ve done that has not had a single bit of machine sewing!
