Oy! I love pearls

Oy! I LOVE Pearls!
A humongeous pearl on the half-shell!
The perfect gift for a pearl of a girl. or guy.

May River Mermaid

See the full gallery on Posterous

Here she is - on land for a few moments to be photographed - a beauty from out of the famous May River in Bluffton, SC.  She can hang on your tree or your wall.  There has been much attention lovingly paid to this girl.  She has a real shell bra that "ties" in the back, and she sports a "pearl" choker and drop earrings.  Her hair is nautical looking rope and she holds a pretty shell.  Her fins are hand textured.  Each upper and lower eyelash has been seperately attached.  She gets two separate coats of oil paint, and has been through numerous firings. A really unique piece for a gift or for yourself.  See the other ornaments in my Shabby Crab collection, on this blog, Facebook, Flickr, and my Eclectic Eagle and Bohemian Romantic blogs.

Octopunk - one of my favorites out of the lot - apparently a FishBone customer agreed since i understand he's been taken to reside in nj
i do hope they enjoy him for the special bloke he is
altho he was my first, i would be happy to create another similar octopunk for you - he is between 7 and 8 inches from the tips of his legs going side to side - color may be altered upon request - let me know asap - $45.

this photo got a bit hazy - who would like to  barter their photographic skills with jd creative?

and here is the back view to show that, as a good artist does, i've finished his backside as nicely as his front

here is what octopunk looks like hanging on a wall - he could hang on a christmas tree as well

flirty fishie and octopunk both adopted

no, that's not octopunk. altho at times i have felt like octomom. i understand that flirty fishie has gone up to live in nj. no offense to new jerseyites, as i lived there most of my life, but better her than me. i will be staying in the south for the duration.

i can create siblings for the fishie and octopunk; just say the word. asap would be a good idea as we approach the season of gift giving.

xxoo, dawn <><

the spark in the brain, the plan

faster than the fingertps move

why i've cultivated the very bad habit of rarely completing a piece

get to maybe ninty-eight or ninty-nine percent

one flirty fish

This is the flirty fish I began a few weeks ago.  With my husband's back issues, the illness and passing of my beloved Yorkie, Pepper, the humongous rattle snake who decided to live outside our front door, and more exciting occurrences, I just revived her, gave her color, and here she is.  She now resides in the Fishbone Gallery on Calhoun Street in Bluffton.  I will take orders via this site but must have plenty of notice for Christmas.  No two pieces are ever alike, so there will be variance in the color, details, etc.

She is the first in a series of sea characters transformed into hanging ornaments.  Coming up soon (in other words, I am in the midst of their creation) will be shrimp, oysters, octopi, crabs, egrets, starfish, mermaids, and probably more I'm not recalling at the moment.  Many of them will be featured at Fishbone.  Visit during the Art and Seafood Festival coming up mid-October!
