OOAK Millefiori Mermaid

 

From the heart and hands of sculptor Lorie O Follett, this signed, original, one of a kind, original art doll was lovingly and meticulously sculpted in polymer clay without the use of molds of any kind.

Measuring approximately 14 inches from bottom of base to top of her head, she has a sturdy wire armature which extends all the way through her delicate looking fingers. 

Kato Polyclay was used for this mermaid for superior strength, durability and true vivid coloring. 

Her blue eyes are blown glass and her hair is black Tibetan lambswool.

 

The really unique feature of this mermaid is the tail decoration. 

Using a technique adapted from ancient glass making art different colors of clay are blended and manipulated to create the intricate design. 

Many hours were invested in creating the canes for this piece.

The wooden base features a round mirror which not only reflects the underside of the fluke but also casts a gentle shimmer of ocean-like light up onto the doll. 

The mirror is surrounded by sculpted flowing waves that flow from the art nouveau woman's face on the back. 

Beautifully gift wrapped at no extra charge.  Comes with removable necklace of silk cord and Iolite accented with a real Sea Star.
