Mermaid Paper Mache

Mermaids are so inspiring, so it is no wonder they are the subject of many different artists. Look at these delightful little ladies! How fabulous are they? These lovely mermaids are original Paper Mache sculptures by artist Tyler Humphreys. I love the way their hair floats and flows.  They take all of us under the tide right along with them! Make sure you check out each original piece!

Aren't the lovely? Can't you just feel the current right along with them?

Check out more mermaids and the rest of his wonderful, whimsical art in his Etsy shop, Tyler’s Workshop.  What talent!

Have you seen a mermaid? We’d love to hear about it! Please send your mermaid sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com and let us share them right here on our blog for the entire Mermaid Nation to enjoy! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

No doubt you will leave with new friends, new perspectives, new opportunities, the tools to move forward, and a renewed appreciation for taking time to step away from the world and take a little time for yourself.
