lol what a miserable day we have had in North Cornwall (UK), very wet and gloomy but thankfully not cold!! Ha ha ha, my photos are not too good because of the poor light today sadly but the scans should give you a better image!!
I'm soooooo enjoying this challenge still and if you fancy a peek at what it's all about please pop on over here, if you would like a nose at all the other entries for D please pop on over here.
Anyhoo, still sticking to my mythological theme, my entry for the letter D is Davy Jones........
Tee hee, my usual painty background (God I LOVE paint!!), smooshed on with my fingers to try and achieve a more fluid, watery effect. I used Decoart Americana, Adirondack paint dabbers and Pebeo Fluorescent acrylic.
The fantastic Bill Nighy as Davy Jones came courtesy of Google images, with a little washi tape to frame him. The 'treasure chest/Davy Jones Locker' was made using a manila tag sponged lightly with an espresso paint dabber to try to achieve a wood-grain effect, this was then stamped with a magazine freebie flourish using brilliance ink. The key is by Tando Creative and also coloured using Brilliance ink. I grounded the chest to the page with a little more washi tape. The chest is held closed using velcro dots.
Ha ha ha ha ha, any of you curious as to the contents of the chest????????
I decided to grant Davy Jones' wish of claiming Captain Jack Sparrow (a la Pirates of The Caribbean!!!!), I knew I would find a way of getting Johnny Depp in here somehow LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image again found on Google.
Many thanks for popping by and leaving a comment if you feel you would like to, your time and thoughts are always much appreciated.

OK, how is it that you manage to get good old Johnny in so many of your "thoughts" and pages? This is is ridiculously funny and still ties in with your great theme. I'm impressed you have been able to keep all these pages on point/theme. Well done, dear.
BTW, I saw you and Karen on BJ's blog. Loved it!! Makes it so much more personal.
Wow! What a brilliant word choice and gorgeous effects with the colors. And the chest looks awesome. Great job! Suzanne

Yes indeed, Yummy!!! Both your page for the letter D and Johnny Depp =)
I love your chest with the little key. Such a clever use of a tag, I'm afraid I'm going to have to swipe your idea and use it myself somewhere in my journals =). Very inspirational.
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and for your sweet comment.
