Mermaid Standing In The Bright Sunlight



 
These pictures are a much better view of the Mermaid statue I got a little while back from The Christmas Tree Shops in this post.
 
 
 
 
She is a beauty. I think she has a very serene peaceful smile.
 
 
 
Nice details with the shells entwined in her long hair.



 
This is a back view of the pieces. Honestly I am really not a fan of the "distressed" chipped away look. I wish it was a solid white finish.
 
 
 
 
Side view. She is about a bit over a foot tall.
 
 
 
Closeup of her tail scales. In my previous post, you can see the iridescent effect on the inside of the clam shell better in those pictures.
 
 
Back view of the clam shell on a coral reef. Tiny clam shells and even a pretty pearl in front of the base.
 
 
Close up of the base.
 
 
 
I got really lucky to walk into The Christmas Tree Shops store and find this gorgeous mermaid. None of the mermaid pieces they had displayed since have been remotely as nice as this one.
 
It was so exciting to add this to my tiny mermaid collection. Usually I never see mermaid things when I am shopping so this was a great find.
 
Thank you for reading!

Mermaid Standing Statue

A new mermaid statue added to my mermaid collection from the Christmas Tree Shop.  I was completely surprised to see a mermaid anything in a local store.  Usually, I only see mermaid figurines when I go to the beach.




She is a little over a foot high tall. I am so excited to find a mermaid I really like. This mermaid has a beautiful face and the statue has a lot of detail. i think it is made from a kind o resin not a ceramic material. 






The only thing i really did not like is the "distressing" of the surface of the piece. if the paint was smooth, it would be perfect. But thankfully, there is only a few places where the paint is chipped off.


The tail is so beautiful.    I am really picky about the design of my mermaid's facial features and the tails. i do prefer the  mermaid tails to have a fuller wider tail fins.



The only color on the figure is this green and pink on  the clam shell.


A view of the back of the mermaid.




Love the intricate detail of the base: tiny sea shells and pearls






I got another wonderful surprise when I got to the register and it was half off. My price was $8.99! Awesome! The prices for this type of statue in Myrtle Beach is 2 or 3 times more than the regular price of this item.


Thank you for reading!
