This is my stepmom's finished pendant! I ended up making a second one for her because the first was too big. This is maybe 2.5 inches (not including the fringe). I also very un-cleverly added a lace-y edging to the bottom of the first pendant which made the fringe hang all wrong. So this is the re-do! I like it.
And this is the beginning of the Feejee Mermaid cuff. I'm not totally sure of it yet- I need to finish filling in the "scales" before I decide. I just don't know what I think of the colors together. I do really love the cabochon though! I picked it up at the bead store the other day for this very project. I thought the neon green said creepy sea creature or possibly man-made monkey-fish hybrid monster.
I like it a bit better when it's draped like it's being worn, though, so maybe it will be alright.
I was going to include a photo of the original Feejee mermaid, but I discovered that they are all disturbing. Feel free to google it, but if I were you I'd wait 'til it was closer to Halloween (you'll be more mentally prepared for the spooky).
First, the pendant and cuff are beautiful!!! Your MIL is very lucky..about this FeJee Mermaid..hmmmmm how/where did you come up with this! The first illustration I found was ok but the 2nd pic was, to say the least, weird! http://chnm.gmu.edu/lostmuseum/lm/39/ Yikes! I do like the fill in your doing..it does look good..great colors especially for water for the FeJee!!
