HGDT - Mermaid of Substance

Mermaid of Substance - Assemblage for Hannah Grey Design Team
So while I"ve been working on my triptych for the monthly challenge, I played around with some more products from Hannah Grey and came up with this little beauty. I didn’t have any set end vision, but simply pulled things out of the box as well as my own stash until she was finished. I hunted for quite awhile for what was going to dangle off the bottom. I tried weasel bones (from HG) and bird’s feet, glass orbs (read beads) even some doll’s legs but saw this piece of coral in my "sea" box and realized it looked exactly like a mermaid’s tail. Perfect match! I love when synchronicity happens. My favourite element?The wispy copper wire waves.

Wow, she’s fabulous! Really makes me miss the coast and islands of BC :}
GREAT piece! Love the color and composition! Very funky!
Oh, what a perfect tail! I love this piece Jen. Terrific!
So cool! Those wispy wire bits are fabulous, they add a wonderful visual and textural element to the piece.
what oh what an imagination.
this looks sooooo good! I just love the irridescence and ‘darkness’ of the colours. No pastel mermaid is she! I love the golds. Great work.
This is one of your best Jen. Rich, sea-ish and haunting. I love everything about it.
This piece is too amazing for words! I LOVE it!
The tail is what makes it - really brings it together! I love those moments of synchronicity . . .
