I've been looking at this Mermaid for a couple of weeks now. I was trying to decide what to do with her...almost used her in something else...and then this evening it just came to me.
I had this block of wood that was already prepared with the right color and was just begging to be arted up. I added some antiquing to the edges to match the ArtChix image and then found the words "Happy Little Maiden" in a ArtChix collage sheet. Added the lace around the top, the numbers 15 because I like the copper color with turquoise, an dthen added the silk ribbon. The final touch was the shell on the ribbon. I think I picked that up while on vacation several years ago and it's been sitting on my kitchen window sill ever since.
These Mermaid Cards are the Monthly Special over at Artchix. A whole set for only $4. Another DEAL!!

Very nice mermaid. I've been thinking mermaids myself all week. Must be the season. Love the colours as well.
Lovely Christy. Love your mermaid. Very whimsical. Does the 15 have a meaning or was it just the numbers you picked?
