Work in progress The Fiji Mermaid

Another project that used to live on the “Shelf of Failure and Shame”. Although it never stays put, it seems to end up in my room, on the couch, on the kitchen table, in a box. I have always been interested in sideshow gaffs and the Fiji Mermaid is one of my favorites.

I started this about a year and a half ago, like many things I have in my shop it sits in an unfinished state and I work on it occasionally or stare at it as I drink coffee and wonder when it will finish itself.  Someday….
