Hi Leslie, thank you. I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed the video nd yes, it's so lovely of Anne to take time to respond and I very much appreciate it. 💎
You absolutely nail your unboxings - another brilliant job. Definitely a shark, for me it’s more a representation of the dangers that lurk beneath - mermaids being one of them. Personally, I’ve always seen mermaids more as sirens/predators of humans. It’s so interesting to hear other peoples thoughts and opinions. Also, that gorgeous jewel toned tail is just calling for added bling on the scales. Not overt bling but definitely room for some extra shimmers. Thanks for making the effort to contact Anne Stokes, it was great to hear her thoughts also.
Hi Anthea, thank you so much. Interesting thought regarding mermaids - quite gothicy dark which makes me wonder whether the pink shiny ones are actually more predatory than the gothic dark depiction. Hmmmm food for thought. I wondered about bling and would have to reserve judgement until completed as wouldn't want to take from the looming dark depths. Thanks Anthea 💎
That is a beautiful painting and it was so special to have Anne Stokes contact you. Another Artist that has my attention is Jodi Bergsma. I have seen 3 of her paintings on DAC. My SIL sent me print and some painted shirts by Jodi years ago and I was trying to see if Australia had any of her products at the time. That was before the internet really got going. Anyway I think that her paintings could appeal to you.
Hi Christine - as soon as I googled I recognised Jodi's artwork and have seen lots of it around. I particularly like one she painted of a fairy sitting on a toadstool in front of a beautiful full moon. Perhaps I have a thing about fairies on toadstools!
Beautiful! Loved your commentary on this. I think her face looks like she has died, too. Maybe figuratively, but with the dark shadows around her eyes, looks very literal to me.
@@stonemagpie you probably would as I am taking part in Springflings with Diamond Painting Fanatics which is gonna be Christopher Lovels Solstice so will be a while. Will definitely let you know though.
Suzanne, wonderful narrative.
Thank you!!!

Actually I'm already reviewing the situation 🤦♀ Thinking maybe 310 crystals for the outlining on the tail. We'll see!
I also bought it on Black Friday. Am currently working on an Enys canvas and next up for me will be a Lovell. Another sneezing video, Thank You! 💜
Hi Dakota, lovely - which Lovell? PS sneezing video - is that lingo I am unaware of? 😂

Hi Christine, thank you. I will definietely check out this artist when I get a minute. Appreciate you bringing her to my attention 😃

I love this painting and of course got it. I plan on using Black AB drills on her scales/fins.
Hi Carina, yay to you also grabbing this one. Lovely idea for black ABs 😃

HI Hobbies, thank you so much. That is so interesting and I can absolutely see what you mean now that you've said that. So beautiful 🧜♀
I have this as well now I have seen it in the flesh, can’t wait to work on it.
Hi Crochetty, so beautiful isn't it. Let me know when you get started but let's not race as I feel I wouldn't win 🤣
