"Her Silver Hook" Mermaid Box....July 2008....Created by Sherry Candy Lane

This Mermaid Box measures 7" x 9"..wooden..opens with front hinged door..

Glass framed front displays mermaids revealed in an effervescent ocean wave.

The sand-like textured paint complements the ocean milleau.

Inside/Left: Composed of glass beads in turquoise, cobalt, seagreen sweeping over an irridescent background..blue enamel seabird in the sky..miniature shells across floor..Highlighted by captivating fabric/laminated mermaid perched as though she is watching the opposite scene..

Inside/Right: Irridescent (mylar paper)backdrop sets the perfect enchanted mermaid scene..Two Mermaids (laminated cut-out paper) own the pearly, crystal, shell-tipped throne--behind them a vintage ocean blue pin beams like a sea orb..above are rhythmic shells and coral-colored beads..on the left border is a rainbow array of petite shells..Cuddled in the lower panel, a mermaid "notice"..."This was the fate of the men and women whom the waters took away...to lie forever unburied in the deep, prey to fish and home to coral, gazed upon by the indifferent eyes of drifting water nymphs."

Bits of coral and shell line the floor. A fish and wand flank the right of the maids.

Thanks for spending a spell to view these secretive creatures.
