Here is the finished piece from the sketch I shared last week. It also works well for this weeks I.F. theme, "Tales and Legends".
Here's more on the legend of the mermaid.

Really nice! I love the different patterns and textures.

I am always going to love ANYTHING 'mermaid' -- but you manage to give her such spunk (via color), and curiosity (via expression). Also, I'd LOVE to have a couple of fish as buddies to hang out with all the time. Your work is so consistently good. How do you make so many details appear so simple?

Awww. it turned out great Roz!! Love the pink fabric you chose for her body (tail?). And her expression is just so cute. .looking at the pearl.

Aww... what a sweet mermaid. Lot's of detail!
I really enjoy your work. Your fabric cutting is so crisp. Not an easy thing!

Very cute mermaid, Roz. My little 1 year old would just love her!

Oh Roz, what a sweet piece. I really like the addition of the pearl and starfish to the composition. Lovely!

I love all the dimensional detailing. And her cute 'outfit/tale'. (For my last mermaid painting they insisted that she had to wear a halter-top... Either that or a tunic - which I put my foot down at. That would be so annoying to swim in! I like your solution better).

I meant outfit and/or TAIL... :-P

This is beautiful Roz. It's great that you want to make a portfolio piece each month, and I can't wait to see your portfolio at the end of the year.
By the way, I have awarded you the "You make my day award".

Also I have given you the "You Make My Day" award. To see the details-check my blog. Thanks.
