sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” – Jacques

| Reclining Mermaid by Marla L. Niederer |
I
have always loved to be around water, be it a lake, river, or ocean. I always feel calmer, more peaceful, and
uplifted when I am near it.

I have also always
held a fascination with mermaids. Maybe it’s
the femininity they represent, maybe it’s the beauty they are always portrayed
with.

So when asked to create a commissioned
small sized mermaid, of course my response was YES! I was
so happy to create this little mermaid that I couldn’t just make one!

They are far from complete. They need hair, headdresses, and all sorts of
embellishment. But, I thought it was
time to share what has been on my workbench lately.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Until
next time……
