Art Journal page: Who will save me?

When I started this, I had no idea what the finished page would look like. It changed all the time. That happens a lot when I'm Art-Journaling.

I made some photo's along the way...

Started with a layer of gesso, 
and a drawing with Inktense pencils.

 A second layer of Inktense pencils.
I wanted to add collage flowers... 
but now it looked like an underwater scene...

So I added some bubbles with acrylic paint and bubble wrap...

At this point I wanted to glue something.... 
so added pieces of paper napkins, with flower-pattern, all over the page...

It looked a bit full so I toned the top part down with a mix of acrylics: white, blue and green.

Now it looked a bit mysterious... a mermaid could be living there.
So I drew a picture of a mermaid on layout paper (with Copic markers). 
And made the tail with pattern paper.

More markers to draw the hair, and to color the tail...

I wonder what she could be holding?

I added a net with gel pen. 
And details in the hair with black marker.

More details on the net with a fine blue marker. 
Shadow under the mermaid with Inktense pencil.

Ready to add some text...
