A necklace inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen tale, "The Little Mermaid." Still in progress! Here you see it upon my not-so-glorious work table.
Materials: sterling silver, shell, marble, bone, pearl, and bead wire.
"Her tender feet felt as if cut with sharp knives, but she cared not for it; a sharper pang had pierced through her heart. She knew this was the last evening she should ever see the prince, for whom she had forsaken her kindred and her home; she had given up her beautiful voice, and suffered unheard-of pain daily for him, while he knew nothing of it. This was the last evening that she would breathe the same air with him, or gaze on the starry sky and the deep sea; an eternal night, without a thought or a dream, awaited her: she had no soul and now she could never win one." -"The Little Mermaid", HCA
