Create a Stunning Under the Sea Magicals Mixed Media Project with Lindy’s Gang

February 4, 2025 No Comments

Under the Sea Magicals bring an ocean-inspired dream to life in this breathtaking mixed media project by Lyudmila! In her latest video tutorial, she shares how to create a textured, dimensional sea composition on a wooden block using self-starting clay, stencils, and an array of Lindy’s Magicals. The project starts with a wooden base coated in white primer, followed by layers of sand, crackle, and fiber pastes for a deep-sea texture.
