Hello Everyone...
Still no mojo...he has really packed a sad and left me..
I have been in my craft room just tidying things and pottering about and NOTHING!!...
This canvas I made weeks ago and it is time to show it now...
The light was not the best for photos ...but I quite like the ocean darkness.
Covered the canvas in gesso and the added texture paste through a stencil to make loads of bubbles..
Then water paint was added..pale green..then blue with lots of water and allowed to dry..
The Seahorses were from Delicious Doodles coloured with Copics then fussy cut out and modge podged into place..then the glass bubbles were added..
Corrugated card stock for the ocean floor and a sprinkling of dazzling diamonds [which scratch and can be quite painful]...but very pretty.
All the buttons along the bottom are vintage buttons and given to me by a client..
The netting is a kiwi fruit bag....fish are clay...and the plants a very soft chipboard that do not like to be messed with, and fall to bits very easily..so only gesso on these with some gems .
This is a real starfish [ the brown one that my grandson collected for me..and the button above [white] looks just like bubbles..I have such a thing for bubbles....
A close up of some of the buttons..
Challenges to enter....

Suppose I better go now..thanks so much for stopping by...and if you see a blond/grey mojo with glasses lurking around some street corner, please kick his butt back home..
luv CHRISSYxx

Oh, this is fantastic, Chrissy! I'm not good at adding lots of bits and bobs, I think I most of the time make a mess, so I've been studying your photos closely to get some clues on how to do this. There's so much detail on here, I think everything looks just perfect.
This is so beautiful Chrissy. Your design is wonderful. I love the seahorses and fabulous detailing.
Hugs Sue xx
Oh Chrissy you sound so sad, I think there a lot of us who go through these phases when mojo's have gone AWOL, but never fear it will come back and soon I am sure, Chrissy this is one awesome canvas I love Sea Horses, the detail of the bottom of the sea is amazing a very beautiful canvas.

This is fantastic Chrissy!! Hope the mojo comes home soon xx
Oh Chrissy, I really do feel for you. You sound so sad. Your canvas is so gorgeous and the detail is incredible. I love your scenes, as there is so much to look at. The seahorses are adorable and all the detail is stunning. I don't know what to suggest and dread having it happen to me when we move house. Take care my friend and will be thinking of you. Big hugs, Carol S.xxx
Wow... this is such a fantastic creation, Chrissy. Love the beautiful embellishments and texture. :)
Oh Chrissy, your canvas is so beautiful and you captured the depth of the sea! I adore the seahorses!
WOW those bubbles look amazing

Love all the details, like the perals, the gems, the bubbles, the red gems etc etc. Really fab piece you have there my friend. Thx for sharing. And keep looking for your mojo it WILL come back.

Such a fabulous canvas Chrissy, love how you've created this gorgeous underwater scene, the techniques used and all the carefully chosen elements combine to make this very special!
Hope Mr Mojo is back where he belongs now but if not my advice is to forget him and read a good book, he'll soon come back if you ignore him for a bit!

This is gorgeous Chrissy and I like all the little gems and shells which add to the perfect little sea scene.
Don't worry about the mojo... it will be back. Mine disappears from time to time too and then the self-doubt rears it's ugly head but not to worry, the mojo is just lurking in the background!
You are way too talented and creative for it to just disappear.
This is amazing Chrissy, love the image and all the pretty details.
Hope Mr Mojo comes home soon.

Might just go out to look for your Mojo! cause mines missing too!
Oh Chrissy this is fabulous. I think I'll have to spend time on your blog and see what else I can learn about mixed media. Thanks for stopping by my blog today! NancyD
Wow, this is truly amazing...such incredible detail and I love how you have been so creative in the items you used. The buttons, the kiwi fruit bag, the chipboard fronds are all so clever...fabulous upcycling!
I can see Mojo in every beautiful detail on here and I do hope he comes back to play with you soon!
Big hugs, Kat xx
Beautiful canvas Chrissy. Really lovely.

What a fantastic mixed media piece, Chrissy... I'm loving this new journey of yours. The bubble background is stunning, and I love all the seashore elements nestled in the sand at the bottom, as well as those fabulous seaweed flowers. Brilliant!
I think Mr Mojo just needs a rest - he was clearly working overtime on these projects!

Great!!! I love this theme. Thank you for joining us over at The Mirror Crack'd Challenge, Hugs, Susanne.
Ooh I think we all have times when Mr Mojo goes missing - so glad you had this canvas made to join our challenge, it's gorgeous...I love bubbles too - and Seahorses ! Such yummy details and texture, thank you so much for sharing with us at The Mirror Crack'd...Esther xx
This is completely stunning Chrissy. You clearly weren't struggling with your mojo when you created this, so hopefully it's only a little shy and will come out of hiding again really soon!
I love all the gorgeous detail and you are right the poorer light actually enhances your fabulous underwater scene. Giggled at your description of your chipboard plants and how they don't like to be messed with. All in all a gorgeous visual delight.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us
