Sea Muse

Mixed Media Sea Art

By Sherry Candy Lane

Shadowbox measures 18" hi x 6 1/2" wide.

This piece was inspired by the interesting plaster face found at a flea market.

Her body is composed of a mosaic from a broken vase, which has painted fish on it. Arms were bent in shape from vintage silverplate tongs. A pastel porcelain fish with graceful shape poses in front. Embellishments of authentic shells, seaglass, fish lure, faux pearls and costume jewelry, and much more create this Sea Muse.

The shadowbox stands on its own, with an attached wooden base.

They bring Hawaiian shells; cruise ship lucite souvenirs; seahorse jewelry; Bermuda sand; authentic seahorses; costume sea jewelry; Florida shell-covered salt shaker; a trumpeting shell angel, and much more.
