This beautiful deep sea nymph sits atop an altered cigar box, amid just a few of her favorite things. A Chinese lantern, coins, gears from a ship long forgotten, a bejeweled cross and shells which she painstakingly collected off the coast of Trinidad. Jeweled sea anemone adorn the walls of her sanctuary, while fish and sea horses glide by.
The box measures 7x7x2 inches, the clasp and hinges are the original hardware. Golden acrylic paints were used to paint the box and Golden's molding paste for the stenciled shells along the sides. Sea weed and broken nets are interpreted by hand-dyed cheese cloth in turquoise and green which cling to the bottom and run along the sides. It is then further embellished with Golden's gold mica and garnet flakes. 
The piece is signed and ready to be put in the mail today.
Enjoy!
