Remember Me

Mermaid Mania

I just can't help myself ~ I love Mermaids!!!!! I haven't been able to pull myself away from the Mermaids long enough to get sewing! Here is what I worked on today:

Isn't she sweet? This cute "mer bebe" has a little easel back attached to her so she can stand alone. I added some glitter sticker dots to trim her hat & dress and then put a dot on each polka dot on her tail.

She is listed in my Etsy shop right now. She would make a sweet "Muse" ~ encouraging and inspiring!

I also made a Mermaid "window card" that measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". The frame around the front of the card has a clear acetate sheet attached and is mounted with an 1/8" thick double-sided tape that raises it up from the background of the card. The mermaid is also mounted for a 3-D effect. I added 3 faux crystals to look like bubbles. (The rick-rack is actually hot pink, but is scanning in more of a red).

 

We'll see what tomorrow brings.....until then.....nighty-night!

I love the ocean! I love the water, the sand, the sound of the ocean waves. I imagine myself a Mermaid or living in Atlantis in a previous lifetime.

I have always loved to SWIM! I remember swimming at the Keystone Pool in Omaha as a child. I was soooooo attractive in my vinyl swimcap. I remember the day I graduated from the "Baby Pool" to the "Big Pool" - the one for the grownups. As I grew older, I was THRILLED when my 13th birthday came because now I could go to the pool at night without adult supervision. YIPEE!!!! No parents!!!!! That is about the time I also discovered the dreamy lifeguards.........

Now, I share my love of the ocean, Mermaids & swimming with my darling customers. I make Mermaid Paper Dolls & Bathing Beauty Art Tags.

I decorate my home with vintage finds.....treasures from the sea.....
