Another in a series of OOAK "aLterED" creations from the dArK cobwebbed filled hemisphere of my brain. Creation date: May 2016 or was it 1842? This dark & lovely one of a kind item was created because of my love for all things odd, different, weird, unusual, curious, freaky and well amazing.
This item is my small humble homage to P.T. Barnum and his taste for the unusual. Say Hello to the feejee Mermaid. P.T.'s version was real, if your looking for a head of a monkey and a body of a fish. I do not have either so I created my ocean nymph from other items. Our delicate flower measures over 6 inches. She is composed of a tail (clay) and some human (plastic) skeletal remains. Her hair is composed of tibetan wool and her "fins" are composed of aged cheesecloth. Her chest area is composed of real fish vertebrae (I did not harm any animal in creating this REAL mermaid)! She rests on a bed of colorful sea glass in a wonderful glass and ceramic enclosure.
This enclosure is very well made, heavy, both top (underneath) and bottom are felt lined. Measurements are: 9 1/2 inches tall and glass circumference is 16 1/4 inches. Completing this piece are numerous shells and a cowry.
Please note that this lovely decoration can take up precious space on any flat surface (preferably in your home).
If you have a question, please feel free to scratch a note to me via email and I would be more than deliriously happy to respond. Also if you have time or the inclination, please check out my other unusual offerings........ I do combine shipping and run to the Post Office every other day with the exception of the weekends. Thank you so much for gracing my doorstep......please come back again... ^v^
