The Mermaid




Way back at Christmas time I visited my BFF Jen and she gave me a blank doll that she made. It was a prototype that didn't make the cut for what she was doing. I took it home and started playing. It had kind of a squarish shape which was puzzling to me. So I wrapped a piece of bright pink fabric around it and waaalaaa, she became a mermaid. No more square. Her necklace is a bracelet Dave brought back from Hawaii, the shells are from a piece I got at Goodwill, and the rest of the stuff is all reused material. That is my goal for the year, reuse and recycle into art and jewelry. I love the challenge of creating from what others either give away or throw away. LOVE IT.
