This mermaid is special. She was sculpted from the finest white sand Clearwater Beach has to offer. Then her beautiful tail was formed by tiny chards of broken shells. They gleamed in the morning sunlight. Around her slim waist was a circlet of the finest shells, pink, tan and white. All perfect.
None broken.
The mermaid's hair, was made of seaweed, long and thickly applied. It spilled onto the sugar sand exactly as hair does, still wet from the sea.
We wondered what artist created her? Or did a storm deposit a flesh and blood mermaid on the warm sand, and there she turned into sand itself? Whatever the answer, she is a magical mermaid. I hope you think so, too.
