Had to share...the mermaid is offering her precious pearls in exchange for the fairy's shoe...

Wow Sheri - after those last few conservative purchases of yours, I thought all hope was lost, and then - THIS! Beautiful mermaid, but a fair trade?

Well, I don't know...they're pretty snazzy shoes (based on these that I made some years back).

I'm both a fairy and a mermaid, so what luck - I get to have the shoes AND the pearls! (not to mention the tattoo...)

Wow, It's beautifully done. How long did it take?

18.5 hours under the needle, spread over 5 sessions. The i-pod really helped! Just finished two weeks ago.

Pretty amazing mermaid...and shoes! That looks like it's quite new. How long have you been working on this? - Ah, nevermind, you just answered!

It is beautiful, and love the corsets too! I would want them little shoes (gorgeous as they are) to have some pretty special powers to hand over that magnificent rope, though!

Good to see the bats got a run - any spiders??

Not yet, though I think there may be a spider or two in my future - perhaps on a foot? Have the flying and swimming things, but no creepy crawlies yet...

Woo Hoo! The secret life of Sheri!

I am filled with anticipation each time I see a new post from you, Sheri. What a wonderful tattoo. It is remarkably creative. The only down side is that you can't see it easily yourself! You are quite remarkable in your creative outlets...
