Bathing Beauty Spoolie

I played along in a swap at Blissful Art Swaps recently.

Here's what I made for my partner Darlene.

We were to use a wooden spool and the theme was Bathing Beauties.

I decided on a base of a sea shell slice. 

The spool became a pylon wrapped with cord and of course I couldn't forget the gull. LOL 

I made a mold and casting 

 for the sand castle from a pair of salt & Pepper shakers,

then sprinkled on a coating of sand.

The umbrella is from Tim's Rosette die.

 I love coming up with different ideas with this favorite die.

A few mini sea shells and a sun hat and she was ready to hit the beach.
