It has been a long time since I have picked up my clay. It was fun to sculpt this wee little mermaid.
I hope you enjoy.
She is a mere 2 1/2 inches in length and her tail is 3 1/2" made of translucent paper.. I also sculpted the shell she sleeps in...
Thank you so much for visiting.. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Penny , She is beautiful. Such a very sweet peaceful face and the crown is remarkable in sea foam with a coral look to it and gold tips. So safe in her cozy shell. Such a treat to view your talents . Truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteso sweet in her cozy little shell...i am amazed and inspired by your talent for working your magic in miniature....you really should get the clay out more often, my dearest.
ReplyDeletehappy saturday to you,

Dear Penny, she is so beautiful, endearing, adorable and sooo sweet while she is sleeping the sleep of innocents.......*a whispering sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis sleeping beautiful princess really is a masterwork of your blessed hands, dear friend.
Have a nice weekend. Hugs, Ilona
HOW IN THEE SAM HILL DO YOU THIS? My fingers do NOT understand how this detail and beauty can be achieved as such! Penny, this is tiny, and for you to get the mouth (la petite bouche) so perfect is beyond me! I am so happy to see you are back at sculpting, but we take breaks and YOUR breaks away from clay have produced other wonders that again, leave me smiling. How I love this little one, la petite sirene de la mer. BISOUS BISOUS!
ReplyDeletePenny my dear friend she is adorable!!! You blow me away with your skills. She will sell verry well. You are a true master in differant art!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend my friend,
Liliane
OOOO! To catch each other simultaneously while blogging, that's FUN! YES! I LOVE HER! And to think that it's been a while for you? I suppose like anything (me and my harp, for example!) that if you put something aside for a while - weeks, months even, but if you pick it up again, the GIFT comes right back. It become a part of our thinking and motor skills. Penny, she is JUST DARLING! And your work has to be seen and held to really understand the detail and SIZE in which it is made. LOVE IT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Penny,
ReplyDeleteHow very precious your sweet little mermaid is - so tiny and so much detail.
You are so very talented with your work, dear friend.
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend

ReplyDeletePenny, is there anything you can't do well? This is amazing! She is truly beautiful, a little gem.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words and for sharing my exuberance at my good report in my recent post at Marmelade Gypsy. I know that prayers, concern and good thoughts like yours are exactly why I came out more or less on top! Thank you!
Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteI have always had trouble expressing myself with words, but want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind and encouraging comments.. It lifts my heart..
blessings,
Penny
She is adorable! The detail is great and she is so exquisite.
ReplyDeleteBonjour petit Trèsor!
ReplyDeleteOh Penny, SO GOOD TO SEE YOUR COMMENT THIS MORNING! But I'm barely getting to my comments now...I am so tired. Our meetings went well, but more to come tomorrow and all through Friday! LOVE! Anita
She is so precious, and charming...like a beautiful pearl in an oyster shell.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love the angel and woman painting I posted too...it is such a profound painting.
I still have found another digital photo of an angel with wings, and winged feet, and also he has a winged helmet as he is rescuing what appears to be a woman in distress or she is dying. I have looked forever at images online of angels for months and months and no success.
Take care,
Teresa in California
Right near Anita...Penny, dear, she is sooooo precious and beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy words cannot possibly match the emotion I feel here....
You are so amazingly talented....
Bless you!!! :)))
Much love to you!

BIG LOVE COMIN' ATCHA PENNY! Thanks for stopping by; gotta run...wow, this craziness has begun! Anita
ReplyDeleteHello Penny,
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd stop by to say hi...wanted to see if you had a new post, but this little gem is fun to look at again. So sweet...reminds me of my little baby...(although obviously he's a boy). :)
Love to you,
Heidi
Thank you Penny for sharing your time with me!
ReplyDeleteI am sending you a weekend full of inspiring thoughts, not that you need them :)
Lots of love
Sea kisses

Dear Penny,
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely sweet and adorable! Your little mermaid is MUCH better than the first thing I made out of polymer clay, way back when, a mermaid on a real shell. My camera was so poor I couldn't get a good picture of her, and she's long since broken. May your little sweetheart live long and prosper! :)
I can't say I have a favorite...You outdo yourself every time. She's precious and as always...I hope she goes to a new home.
ReplyDeleteDo you not have an Etsy shop?
Hugs and make more babies,

Hi Penny, That face is precious!!!Everything is -- I love the amazing details you always do-and that crown, how cute! truly a wonderful work of art . Sincerely, Jonny
