Mermaid Bear Necklace & Some Mermaid D.I.Y.

When I saw this teddybear mermaid necklace pop up in the Moon Bunny etsy shop, I couldn't resist treating myself. It's a teddybear... and a mermaid. And it has little golden shell nip-covers. How ridiculously, hilariously cute is that!?

It's incredibly well-made as well, with so much attention to detail.

I also made myself a few gold-coloured mermaid accessories recently:

I got this seashell mirror compact on ebay for a couple of quid and glued some swarovskis and plastic shells to it (I got the shells is a mermaid jewellery kit for kids and painted them gold).

A papercraft seahorse I got from Millers and turned into an earring...

... And here's a sparkley stud earring that I made from a gemstone sticker from Paperchase glued onto a piece of clear PVC which I then glued onto an earring back. Cheap as chips!

Q-Pot Pink Shell Macaron Necklace

My birthday is coming up (and it's a big one) so I decided to save up and treat myself to something from the Q-Pot International shop. I was a little nervous as I'd never bought a necklace from them before; only rings which aren't as expensive. I shouldn't have been worried though as the pink shell macaron necklace I had decided on was so beautifully made and of such good quality that it was worth every penny. 

The only problem I have is that it's so lovely I want to wear it all the time!

Tattooed Mermaid

I don't always share my illustration or graphic design work on this blog, but I thought you folks might like this tattooed mermaid I completed the other week. I'm also hoping to have my etsy shop back in order again soon with prints, purses and other accessories and goodies which I've been busy working on. As ever, if you want to see more of my stuff you can follow my art blog.
