Description

Besides her bright bold color palette, this mermaid is unique for her butterfly fluke, Japanese style waves and shiny shimmering streaks of hair. The metallic casts in her hair are lime, jade, aqua, peridot, and gold. The fluke, or fin part of her tail, shows purple and red against turquoise waters. Her eyes are cast upwards as if looking at the bubbles above her.This could easily be used as a cartooned style woman and made humorous. Greeting card, tabletop treasure, duvet cover, throw pillow, metal print, curtain....so many choices to select! The only other hard part is thinking of a name for your MERMAID once you get her home!

Name suggestions "Shin-jutori"(Japanese for [mother of] pearl fishing ), or she could be called "Ama" after the famous pearl divers (free diving --no air tanks) in Japan (and also Korea too).
There's always just plain "Pearl".

"Mermaids entered European mythology with conflicting (characteristics). Sometimes they were portrayed as beautiful, seductive maidens, almost goddesses like Atargatis or Venus, greatly desired by lonely sailors, while also being cast as siren-esque (creatures of evil) that dragged men into the inky-black depths. Mermaids found their way deep into the nautical lore of the Middle Ages onward. In legend, it was best to avoid mermaids and mermen, just to be sure. Olaus Magnus, the 16th century writer and cartographer whose seminal map, Carta Marina, obsessively cataloged the many monsters of the seas around Scandinavia, noted that fishermen [should] 'maintain that if you reel in a mermaid or merman, and do not presently let them go, such a cruel tempest will arise, and such a horrid lamentation of that sort of men comes with it, and of some other monsters joining with them, that you would think the sky should fall'. Sea-people, it was widely held, were terribly bad luck to see or snag in a net.
Seductive, sensuous creatures, mermaids are one of many female legends but singly seem to capture the viewer by being half nude and alluring. In art, even implied nudity, with semi covered breasts, are a hint at the sensual nature of a mermaid.
