Now, we love Maggi's inspiration for this great project. Take it away, Maggi:
"True story, I was cleaning up my work table and listening to music when The Beatles song, Octopus Garden, came on. I snatched up a pencil and wrote down 'Octopus Garden-Voyage Beneath the Sea' so I wouldn't lose the idea! It's amazing where inspiration comes from sometimes.
To make this piece, I started with a 13 x 13 paper storage box and painted the inside white. Then I tore strips of the design paper and glued down with matte medium. Then I did some stenciling over the paper strips. When that was dry, I sprayed on 2 colors of mist to give it a deep sea look. Then it was a matter of fussy cutting images from the design papers and layering them in with seashells and foliage. I used foam tape to give the images different heights to create depth in my diorama. Instead of an ink pad, I used Faber Castell Big Brush Pens to ink my edges. It is so much easier to ink all those tiny spots with a pen." ~Maggi
