I like March, it is quirky and unpredictable, we think that spring is on its way.\u00a0The snow is melting and we dream of planting flowers. Then we get hit with a blizzard, not a DQ\u00a0Blizzard, which I love, but the kind with big gobs of snow. And we remember, oh yea, it\u2019s\u00a0March\u2026. so like a lot of folks, we pack a suitcase and head for a beach, and warm weather.\u00a0And so my project for this fickle month of March is centered around the beach, a lovely Sea\u00a0Siren, and She Sells Sea Shells By The Sea Shore\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6252\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/?attachment_id=6252\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?fit=650%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"650,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"michellegreengirl650\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?fit=135%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?fit=462%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6252\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?resize=571%2C1265\" alt=\"michellegreengirl650\" width=\"571\" height=\"1265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?w=650&amp;ssl=1 650w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?resize=135%2C300&amp;ssl=1 135w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/galeblair.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/michellegreengirl650.jpg?resize=462%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 462w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Supplies from PaperWhimsy:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paperwhimsy.com\/pages\/old-store?productid=20322&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\">Curious Character Niche<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paperwhimsy.com\/pages\/old-store?productid=17486&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\">Royalty # 13<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other bits: E6000 glue,\u00a0Copper patina paint and activator,\u00a0Rusted wire,\u00a0Small sea shells<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I started by painting all of the parts of the Curious soon to be beach babe with the patina paint.\u00a0You need to do a fairly heavy first coat and wait for it to dry, I know, who likes to wait, but you\u00a0must! Once it is dry, you go over it with a lighter coat of paint, and while it is still wet-ish, spray it\u00a0with the activator. Then you wait for it to dry. I really like this process because you never know\u00a0how the finish will turn out, but it is always very cool! I used E6000 glue to assemble our beach\u00a0babe, and rusted wire to attach the arms. She just has to be beautiful and serene, so I used the\u00a0lovely Royalty #13 sheet for her face.<\/p>\n<p>She has a crown made of sea shells, and scattered around the base is some lovely white sand\u00a0and sea shells. And while vendors walk the beach selling cold water and ice cream that will melt\u00a0faster than it can be consumed, She Sells Sea Shells By The Sea Shore\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Michelle xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy March to all!
