   Beautiful life size metal mermaids all started and finished in the last 2 weeks of 2012. All are one of a kind and hand cut, welded, braised with copper and brass, and decorated. The biggest one is also back welded to create the 'henna' or tattoo like patterns on her hands and stomach, she has a myriad of pet and sea life added and is dripping with stunning jewellery and chains, including some antique pieces. All the mermaids are signed by the artist.
   Thank-you to all my loyal and new customers from the past year and wishing everyone health and happiness in the New Year!

   Metal Mermaid has done the last Christmas show so if anyone needs Christmas gifts please call or e-mail for a studio tour.
   The last show before Christmas for Metal Mermaid Welding last Thursday at the Victoria Art gallery went very well, a beautiful decorated venue with artisans, musicians and carolers. Kudos to the Victoria Art Gallery for a well organized first year 'Makers Market' event .
   Many new pieces have been created in the last 2 weeks, frogs, stakes, clocks and a huge amount of large life size mermaids, photos which will be included next week. It is a hugely busy time to try and be creative but that comes of necessity and a variety of spontaneous pieces came out of the shop. My favourite is the recycled spinning salmon which are welded on to a tiny bearing and post and will rotate at the touch of a finger.
   The Christmas lights are up outside, tree is up inside covered with birds, my favourite sparkly things are sprinkled around and the fireplace is glowing orange around the clock. enjoy the photos1
   Metal Mermaid Welding wishes A Happy Holiday Season to all!
