I found these petite cuties about six years ago to put into my flower pots.
Ask me why it took me so long and I haven't a clue.
I confess. I like mermaids. Not fantasy style just simple mermaids and these
were in part the inspiration for my "mermaid garden" spoon.
Deciding against their pretty lifeless original color, I primed and then painted them with a few coats of aqua paint. I distressed one to see if I would like the look.
The non distressed version is below.
Either way, they seem to like their new home amidst flowing white flowers,
geraniums, and some beach grasses swaying in the breeze.
I liked how they looked in the 18" pots on either side of the front door
so much that I think I am going to get some more
After a makeover I may offer them in my Etsy shop.
What do you think?

HI Rita
I have to agree I like my mermaids 'simple'... these are too sweet.. and they look quite happy there in the their new garden..
Have a great weekend.. ciao xxx Julie
Sweet, they are. I especially like them in white. There's a whole shop of mermaids in Venice, Florida...it's called Sirene...the call of the mermaids. You would love it.
I love the mermaids! I have a few mermaid statues, too. I'd love to have some for flower pots!
Love her!! Yes they would be perfect in your shop, I say go for it!! Kathysue
For the outside I like the distressed version the best.
Love your mermaid. I have a little mermaid sculpture like this...and now that I have seen yours, I am going to paint mine. Have a wonderful weekend.
I like them! The distressed one I like best. I don't think I could get rid of those.
I love them and have some that look almost just like these. They bring me great joy. :O)
Have a lovely week!!
Hugs,

Hello,
While I don't place decorative pieces in my garden (well not yet anyway) I think that the mermaids are just beautiful and a wonderful sea side addition to your pots.
