I really do like sewing on paper. For this blue challenge I sewed blue pictures to blue cardstock.

Rivers of gesso and acrylic paint on recycled cereal box. It almost didn't need anything else...and then I found the Man-of-War in my favorite set of Nature Encycopedias and made the packing tape transfer.
This one went off to a jellyfish lover..
100-365 Blue bottle jellyfish
I'm noticing scans of mainly white images don't seem to look so nice, ah well.My 16 year old daughter has a best friend from Kindergarten in Portland, Oregon who is now 17 and got a job and bought herself an airplane ticket to Australia to come and see us. She got here yesterday. Today we went to Coogee beach, as you do, and what happened? She and my daughter both got stung by jellyfish!!! What luck!
Thankfully, this jelly, the blue bottle is not the one that stung them. It's sting is VERY painful and lasts for days, they were stung by one amusingly referred to as a "purple people eater". We found several of these "blueys" on the sand though. We picked them up with a stick and put them in a cup of water to see the tendrils dangle and they were every bit as mesmerising and beautiful dead as they are alive.

This card was once a larger painting on cereal box inspired by one of Mary Todd Beam's books.
Went out to Adamandia in Chicago of "A Fishy Requisite"
