SeaScapes - Polymer Clay

It's even deeper where the whale is diving.

Yet, where these plants grow is a 

Matter of Tide.

I don't mean the laundry detergent, either!

I've had a craving for the ocean.  

Since we only have fresh water lakes in 

Minnesota,

I had to make my own little corners of the sea out of polymer clay.  

I think I like these.

When I finished making this seascape,

I was covered in glitter.

Lesson learned!

Only use glitter in limited amounts in the seascapes,

no matter how much you want them to sparkle!

I did try to get the bubbles in place, too, but I think I over used the bubbles by a bit!

Can you find that naughty little eel hiding in the leaves?

He only pops his head out to greet newcomers to his home.

What should I name him?

I was thinking

Albert?

Call him Al for short?

Hmmmmmmmmm!

I don't know.

What do you think?

You're in manta territory now.

This manta reminds me of a bird flying in the air above the sea scape.

I don't know what to name him either.

He's very muscular, but he's thin.

What do you think we should name him?

In the end, what I want to do is make pendants using these ideas.  

Even though these aren't true tide pools,

I like them!
