Young Mermaids in Love

Young Mermaids in Love

These earrings make me think of naiads and mermaids! I gathered up some water colors--a little viridian, a little glacier green, a little teal--and bound them together in silver and brass (plus a little sparkle of AB rhinestones.)

If these two star-crossed lovers ever overcame their worldly forms and tied the knot--and I was the lady's stylist and she was thinking casual backyard wedding, maybe potluck--I might suggest these for an understated, but romantic look. This picture makes me sad (such yearning, but so impossible!):

The Mermaid, by Howard Pyle (1910)

I like to think they got together, somehow, in the end.
