Today is a mermaid kind of day.
I'm hoping to see the mermaids in the new Pirates of the Caribbean soon.
I like unusual mermaids,
and pretty mermaids.
You can leave me out when it comes to
'let's make an almost pornographic image/photo/painting,
pop it into a mermaid costume and call it a mermaid' arena.
I don't particularly like ugly mermaids either.
You know, the scary ones with weird gill things going on
and talons instead of fingers.....
So
let's have a "nice" mermaid day today!
One of my mermaid Barbies. I try to collect them whenever I can.
very sorry, unknown artist
Do you know who painted this? Let me know:
"Mermaid Sighting"
Anne Hathaway
No decent mermaid day would be complete
without a lovely Liana's mermaid costume:
These are from her Paper Boutique line of paper dolls.
These next costumes fit her newer dolls, facing to the left.
Why not get out just a few beads, and make up this quickie mermaid pattern?
'Mermaid Mini'
Get out a few more beads,
take some more time, and make this 'down under' mermaid:
"I'm tired of all this nonsense
about beauty being only skin deep.
That's deep enough.
What do you want -
an adorable pancreas?"

These mermaids are all hand painted!
These next mermaids are just a few of the
Collage Art Doll Mermaids that I have made.
I use all recycled junk mail to create and hand cut
my costumes, tails, purses, hair, etc.
I have so much fun making these, it hardly seems like working!
