WELL... a few months being born this one... here she is... mmmmm she needs a name! I think I will leave that to the new owner.
My VERY first Mermaid too!
She features a hand sculptured face (by me) and treasures given to me by the new owner.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say who just yet. She swims home this week.
YES I can... my very first Mermaid belongs to the my inspirational beautiful friend
Lucy Cavendish.
