Hi, guys!
Today I will talk about one of my works, which was made on the basis of
the my illustration.

I like to draw fairy-tale characters, and then it's very interesting to embody them in reality.

Unfortunately, there is only one photo of the process, the rest are not preserved.
Here's a mermaid tail:

The body, tail and arms were decided to be made of linen cloth, and the face and whale of self-hardening clay by JOVI.

I stuffed the mermaid's body with lavender and small sea pebbles - by the way, it turned out very nice to the touch. And why not - we have this good on the shore enough, and the future owner of the little mermaid can thus be closer to the sea :-)

The most difficult was sticking hair ... I made them out of threads of mulina and glued on super glue beams directly to the clay head. The process is long, sticky and smelly))) but the result I was satisfied.
So, a week later (probably for so long, because I did not hurry), my little mermaid is ready. It did not turn out the way it was in the picture, but I like it)
