Tidal Pool is living in Maryland in a private collection.

"Irish Mermaid" is 14 inches long. Her tail is made from slices of mokume cane layered with dicofex paints. The base is an oyster bed embelished with special shells, sealed with varnish, and mounted to hand finished poplar. In her hand is a wire mesh bag containing her treasure finds while on her journey.

Irish is now living in Miami in a private collection.

This is the ultra light sculpey and wire armature used in the mermaid pictured below.

Her final polymer clay skin layer is on, sanded, and painted with Genesis heat set oil paints with mokume cane slices applied on her lower body and matching tail fin.  This cane was made with multiple layers of colored clay, translucent clay, and gold leaf.   A sprinkling of shades of green sea glass have been added along her tail fin and around her arm for added reflection and sparkle. She is about 9 inches tall including her removeable base.

Milli is in a private collection.
