SWIMMING WITH MERMAIDS!

More fishy-tailed little ladies came swimming in yesterday...I think I am going into...or perhaps am now going out of... a "BLING" stage in my creativity...vbg.
This time, all but two have clear transparency wings which I heated with my trusty old heat gun (der!) to curl them up, which makes them appear to be 'floating".
They all have 3D elements, either at the fluke of their tail's, or the fish in their hands. The shell hats are also 3D mounted.
I have used up all my watery looking back-grounds, so for now, mermaid themed ATCs will be put to rest.

Barb...these are AMAZING!!!! I absolutely adore them and would take them all home with me!!! Hope you're planning to do something similar for the bi-weekly lottery...someone will be thrilled to win one!

Have a great weekend!

Your mermaids are heavenly in a seaside kind of way.

Oh, and the microscopic slides are fantastic! So different from anything I have seen before.
