This the Sea

MCN: CEKJU-DVK5V-JUYYC

This is inspired by the wonderful model Jess Truscott and the song This is the Sea by The Waterboys. You can listen to it below.

I've always had a thing about the sea and water in general. :-) The sea always made me feel safe and free and I was always drawn to myths about the sea, especially the one about Tethys, Goddess of the Sea.

Floating Islands

 MCN: C3NUN-TW8C9-LJGP3

 

Detail image of the three islands in the top left corner.

The image was created with images of actual moss to make the top of the island, the bottom is either part of the moss 'pads' or bits of wood, stone, and bark.

I had great fun making them into little islands, each different from the others. I've included images from Leiston and Ely Cathedral, a tower in Happisburgh, an old beach torch as seen in Aldeburgh, trees from Rome, bunting from Cambridge and old watch parts for the gears.

The image took a week to create and pull it all together.

Part of my new series of images for licensing on Arcangel-Images - use this code: SYST-00136

Created with my own photographs in Photoshop, no stock used.
