Title: It was an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Poka Dot Bikini.....

   This is a lovely forum that I didn't know was here until I was invited over to post this mini.  This looks to be a very nice community and I certainly look forward to visiting here.

   This mini's base and bikini was inspired by the song in the thread title.  I loved that thing when I was little and the Beach Libby just screamed for a yellow poka dot bikini!

 Very cool indeed!  I especally like the base work.  Tell us about about the base! What colors did you use for the ocean?

The base is one of the partually hollow ones that I produce.  The water effect can be done without a hollow area, but it takes more underpainting and time.  The water is a combo of sand, multi layers of ink, water effects and paint.  I started work on a tutorial showing how I did it, so I'll be happy to post that over here when I'm done.
