Newest creation- Baby Minna

I guess I will start with my newest creation in clay. This is baby Minna, a little 4" mermaid baby
My sister brought me back all kinds of oyster shells from a visit to Alabama, so I have a lot of fun creating the mermaid babies in them. This one is baked into the shell, so she isn't removable.
I have used diamond dust, glass beads, glitter and glass bubbles to embellish both the baby and the shell.

she is sculpted from Prosculpt polymer clay. Her hair is Tibetan lamb fur and has a string of tiny pearls running through it. Her skin blush is from China paint and her fish tail is painted with  pearl-ex powders and sealed with matte varnish.
