Norfolk, Virginia has mermaids everywhere. They all have the same silhouette, are (more or less) ‘life-size’, and are decorated individually. This one inside MacArthur Center has always fascinated me. It has “bites” carved out of its tail, and is wrapped in silver foil, to look like a foil covered chocolate mermaid. There used to be a Godiva store in the mall, (Heaven on earth, imo) and this mermaid is titled Go Diva, with a little poem beneath it.
I brought shiny silver paint for the foil, but then wasn’t sure about shading on top of it. I want to try it again, though, so maybe next time I’ll try the shiny. (Although I was pretty satisfied with the way the Daniel Smith Bloodstone worked)
