When I think of mermaids, I think of Madison from Splash, even Ariel from The Little Mermaid; but wall art with an oversized, over embellished mermaid? Not so much.
Can I just say that her pouty pee-pee sucker lips got me a little freaked out.
And her hair? What is with the hair? Are those seams from her grown out weave?
Let’s take a look at the whole picture, shall we?
An homage to mixed media art (read: all the crap this person could find, melded into art a la resin), this mermaid art is described as:
“Swim With Me” 3D mermaid wall art
A beautiful orange and teal green mermaid drifts lazily through shallow waters. A singular gold fish follows her, hoping to discover some secret treasures…
This piece is an original, one of a kind 3D wall hanging. I have hand sculpted the mermaid from polymer clay; her facial features were hand painted with acrylic paints.
Other media includes resin, glass beads, assorted fibers and ribbons, hand made papers, and watch gears. Tail is slightly poseable.(sic)
Dude, check out the freakishly large hand! All the better to stroke the fish with, my dear.
(I have no idea where that came from. Do mermaids even like fish? Ariel likes Flounder, but is that because he’s her buddy, or do they eat fish? Ad if they don’t eat fish, what do mermaids eat?)
(Listen to me – it’s like I think mermaids are real or something.)
(It’s entirely possible I *may* have had too much caffeine today.)

“one of a kind” is right.
and back up a little- you have nothing to say about the ORANGE BAT that attached itself to the frame for some inexplicable reason?!?
but i think my favorite part is the bits of glue spilled on the frame. it really gives dimension to this beautifull mermaid who may or may not have had a shitload of plastic surgery.

I just happened to come across your blog and read this post. Boy, I’ve got some more clicking to do if they’re all like this. And I’m not sure about fish, but Madison ate that lobster. I’m sure they eat fish too, with their freakishly large hands.

Thank goodness it’s one of a kind! I don’t think I could handle it if there were more than one of those floating around my world. Yikes!

I don’t think it’s a mermaid, I think it’s a mer-snake–look at how long that tail is! WTF is up with the watch gears? Is that supposed to attract the Steampunk crowd? And exactly what sort of treasure is that fish looking for? Some people shouldn’t be allowed into craft supply stores!

Do mermaids have lady-bits? If so, that fish really is about to discover some secret treasure.
