If you’ve been following along with me over the past week, you know I’ve been on a coral kick. And dough. A dough/coral kick. I made white coral, red coral, I even made starfish.
Out of dough.
But long before I busted out the dough, I busted out the acrylic paint.
This seaweed is all up and down the Southern California coast. I don’t know what it’s called. (Nor do I care, so there is no need to tell me. It’s OK, really.)
However, if you find some and let it dry, you can make up a little mix of watered down red and orange paint…. dip the regular old, dried seaweed into the paint mixture and let it dry. Ta-Dah!
If it’s sitting on a plate, or in an apothecary jar with a bunch of other beachy items, how accurate does it have to be?

This is cool! I’ll have to go beachcombing around here…
It’s so pretty. You don’t know how badly I wish I knew the name of that seaweed so I could tell you!
This is a really fun and simple idea – thanks for sharing 🙂
