Smushasha by Stampotique |
The pattern behind Smushasha is a hand silk-screened piece of Screen Prints acetate from Hambly Screenprints called Vintage Plaid... aren't they pretty!? Behind the acetate is a a piece of color washed high gloss card stock. This look is achieved by scribbling Tombow and Crayola markers on a piece of acetate, spritzing the color with a wee bit of water and then pushing the glossy card stock directly into the color. Smushasha is also cut from a piece of color washed high gloss card stock but her hair was hand painted with a matching Tombow colorwash.
I really struggled with what sentiment to add to this piece (partly a space issue and partly not knowing what to add). I would really LOVE to hear your suggestions for a sentiment for this piece!
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
William Butler Yeats
