Whaddya know - it is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday! I'm still tinkering with items for the steampunk undersea cabinet of curiosities.
Today I'm coloring in this wooden artist hand with beasties inspired by Jules Verne's classic book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.
"The monster did exist, and he had sworn to rid the seas of it."
Photo below was taken before coloring. I like to use a wood burning tool to draw the lines first.
Next up will be some armor and accessories for this sculpey mermaid.
... and she glows in the dark!

Hi Stacey, Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my space, and the strawberry was very juicy and nice but could have been a little sweeter if I left it longer. The ants were also checking it out so I picked it maybe a little sooner than I would have done, and now there are 4 more nearly ready. It is taking so long even in the greenhouse!
Wow you undersea stuff sounds fascinating, I will have to look around. A wooden hand and glow in the dark mermaid, well that is so different!

A glow in the dark mermaid! That's something you don't see very often! Love the hand, Jules Verne wrote amazing books considering the period he was writing in. The tidiness of my desk doesn't bother Julia, she's used to that, it's my off season crafting that gets her going each time! It's very funny, sometimes I put Christmas on my desk even if I'm not working on it just to see her reaction, lol!!
