Ticket to Paradise - Whitewith1 challenge

So here's my layout for the current http://whitewith1.blogspot.ca/ challenge

white with a blue called Blue Island Paradise

I totally played on the name of the color

my photo is of a resort on Paradise Islands in the Bahamas

we visited there in the 1980's

but you won't find it there now

at least not looking like this

It became part of Atlantis

the hotel is still there but this lovely little building

which was a French restaurant is no longer there.

I used watercolor paints and crayons for the background

those are real shells from our travels

and then I added beads attached with gel medium

I love how the gel medium dries almost invisibly

the 2 bulkhead remnants are some broken pieces of

paper clay that I molded with an IOD baroque mold

it was my first attempt and they didn't come out great

but I think they have a charm of their own

Hope you like it

Check back tomorrow for more blue and blue and blue
