I just got back from Florida, did the Winter Park Art Festival and met my first mer and I frogot her name...I'm so sorry,I'm terrible with names. I feel so bad. I hope she posts so I can thank her for coming to the booth. I really did appreciate it. I'm such an Alheimers Head,I forget so much these days. Even forgot my guestbook while packing!
.
I designed this to be an antique style aquarium with scrolled detail on a sea wave base with star fish and sea horses and a sea turtle with a swimming mermaid inside... Soon to be cast!

Thank you for posting,I'm so glad you came by ,it was so cool to meet you. I'm so bad with names but I can usually remember jewellery or cool eyeglasses! I hope we can be juried in next year so hioefully we can go to Wiki Wachi and maybe see some mers there. I hope to have a tail by then and a few less pounds,,,lol...

Looking forward to a Mercon real soon too.I hope they do it again,so I have time to make plans to go!

That looks amazing! I'd love to buy jewelry from you someday when I can afford it :3 I'm a tad broke at the moment lol. But this is a piece I'd be willing to save for!

How much would one of these rings cost?

Not sure yet I have to see how much metal and how much work and how many castings to make it happen. I do the secret shell mermaid rings fro $1100- $1300 ( for the pop up mermaid) because I have to do it in three separate castings and running a burnout oven for 10 hours takes a lot of electricity. The assembly and finishing takes time too.
My vaseline glass mermaid rings run $595.00 but I do have a few in the $300 range.

I do lay aways though.

Do you have a website for your wares?

Yes ,it's a picture trail so I can upload images. It's not a real website,it's kinda like photo bucket but it's easy to navigate. I'm such a computer dummy so an FTP server is all I can manage.

That new shell ring is gorgeous! I love the shell's texture and the base it's on. I think my favorite thing about your work is the curvy, swoopy lines.

I hope to get a house with a pool,like we had in Naples. It was great exercise. I loved to lay on the floaty and let the waves carry me away...
