Why, I don't know. Taking a wild guess and saying that it's a whale...or, perhaps a wonky mushroom? Dawn

I asked the same on FB and got two whales and a manatee there, both wrong. I'm not sure how you get to the mushroom, but mushrooms can take on all kinds of great shapes That's not it, though.

It's a mermaid. I'm going to loom two strips to turn her into a necklace. You know I had said I wanted to play with colored sequins and when I saw them, a fishtail came to mind first. I always feel just a fishtail looks as if it has been cut off, so I thought I'd make the whole mermaid. The original plan also hadn't been to make her so big and give her so much hair and a small face, but that's the way it happened. She took me way too long, but I already know I will not be learning anything from that for future pieces.

I LOVE her! I'm glad you shared what it is so soon, as once you said it wasn't a whale, I was completely stumped. She's beautiful and I really like that she has a lot of hair. I always thing of mermaids as having lots and lots of long flowing (ha!) hair so that it can float around the in the water. Dawn

Thank you, Dawn! When I had added the edging and saw the back, it reminded me of a whale, too. That's how I got the idea to take a photo in the first place. I have come far from drawing princesses with two hairs as a kid to doing this now .

My first reaction was "a whale"!
I think this mermaid is amazing!

Yep, I would have assumed it to be a whale in the making. Mermaid good! Brad
