The Arrival of the Mermaids; aka.The Evolution of the Fish.
I've been making mermaid door signs. I wasn't always making mermaid door signs. Shall I tell you how it all began? It started with an idea of making wooden fish shapes to hang as decoration. The idea I had was to paint them in bright sea-sidey colours once they'd been cut out and sanded. It was fun painting them and I was pleased with the results. I hung some beads on them in matching colours for the finishing touch. Then a lot of time passed. I liked what I'd already made but after time, other arty things distracted me so the rest of the fishy shapes stayed in a cupboard for longer than I'd like to admit to you here. 😉 So the day came along when I felt like painting some more fish again so out of the cupboard they came, I painted an undercoat of blue on them while they awaited their fishy patternings. I love this colour blue, they could have stayed like this and I could have added a pretty thread and beads b
