Mermaid's Song


Finally, finally done with the Art Bead Scene challenge. I had so many ideas which I started on and decided I didn't like that's why it took FOREVER!!! Any way, here she is. The sexy mermaid from Green Girl Studios is the star, of course. She's holding several of her treasures from the sea which include a large beaded bead from The Bead Goes On, a lampwork bead from JavaBead, sea glass in green and cobalt from Ecstasea, a "flame" charm from Mamacita Beadworks which reminds me of ocean waves, and various Bali silver. Blues and greens from the ribbon make up the length of the piece which is held together with a handmade sterling S hook. Let me know what you think!

This piece re minds of the tale about the beautiful mermaid's song luring seamen into the deep blue. And woul dn't you know last night while I was making this I was listening to Scott Hardkiss who sings Underwater Ball. It dawned on me while I was "chair dancing" to it so I had to add it to today's post. Give it a listen!
