Paper sea turtle mosaic

in art •  8 years ago 

So I've discovered a new art technique (well, new for me) that I really enjoy! I use what's called a Gelli Plate https://www.gelliarts.com/ and I create patterns with paint on paper. I cut pieces out which become my mosaic "tiles" and glue them onto a wood canvas and VIOLA!

Here's my very first creation called "Swimming Toward the Light"...

It's a bit of a challenge taking good photos of art pieces but I think the colors match fairly close to the original. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it!

That's awesome! I need to try it! A few weeks ago I discovered stained-glass imitation technique, and couldn't stop creating! This may be really involving too, thank you so much for sharing!:) Followed:)

Thank inber :) I appreciate it! It's very fun to do. Even just making the paper is a work of art in itself.

I have some special paper that I already thought I will throw away:) Now I know why I need it:)

My son and I scuba dive whenever we have a chance and sea turtles are my favorite sea life to meet. I think your work captures their grace and gentleness very well. Have a great day!

Thank you so much! I do love sea turtles although I've never had the chance to see them in person.
