Sirena del Mare Mermaid Art Doll

Description

Sirena del Mare translated means Mermaid of the Sea in Italian. I have always loved mermaids, thanks to Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale The Little Mermaid. There is no doubt in my mind that they did exist... and maybe still do. Hopefully they are safely hidden from those that would harm them. This unique mermaid art doll was created in several phases. Her face is sculpted from biodegradable eco-friendly paper clay, followed by gesso and then painted gold. Her body was handcrafted with recycled fabrics, yarns, new cotton batting, and threads. Using several textures of yarns in hues of sea greens, blues, purples, moss green and shimmering pink silver threads. Her curly hair is a deep purple with deep green. The photograph does not pick up the violet purple hues of her hair. She is adorned with small mirrors on her body to reflect light. She holds a sea shell wire wrapped with non-tarnish vibrant purple wire. On her back is a pin along with a strand of sari ribbon. Pin on a heavy curtain or pillow. Hang in your favorite room, sacred space or indoor garden. She measures about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide from her tail. Please note these Nature Spirit Being dolls are not for children to play with and must be handled with love and care. Do not place outside or in direct sunlight. Each nature Spirit Doll is unique.
