Description
An ACEO I made from polymer clay with glass gems, a solid brass mermaid and shell. All of the little corals, shells and such were made of clay. I gave it a wash of acrylic paint to bring out the details.ACEO stands for Artist Cards Editions and Originals. They are small, affordable, collectible works of art and can be made of any material. The only rule is their size which is 2.5" x 3.5" or the size of a baseball trading card.

This is just stunning. The blues and greens make such a good background for the golds.

I thought i had commented on this gorgeous ACEO - must be going mad as i can't see my comment lol.
Love how you got the coral to look so realistic and the mermaid and shell are gorgeous. It makes me want to sing songs from "The Little Mermaid"

There is a parade of fishing boats, from the coast to a few miles, loaded with all the people that want to rise, and each boat is a celebration with cake and champagne in honor of San Pedro, is a very popular holiday among the fishermen.

That is freaking gorgeous! I really really wish the photo quality was better so that I could appreciate the details. I love it! The little swirls of shells and coral are really attractive.

I know, the lighting today is terrible. It's cloudy and rainy and no matter what I do the color is dark and a bit 'off'...but thank you very much!
