DZFANTASY'S SEPTEMBER GIVEAWAY - RAINBOW MERMAID FANTASY SCULPTURE!

Rainbow Mermaid

This newly created fiber sculpted "RAINBOW MERMAID" is my DZFANTASY "GIVEAWAY" for the month of SEPTEMBER. PLEASE NOTE: Since I am going to be on vacation starting October 1st, this giveaway won't be running for the full month of September.

I am running this giveaway from SEPT. 1st - SEPT. 25th!! The giveaway will end at 12 midnight on Sept. 25th. Due to the fact that I won't have time to wait for the randomly chosen winner to reply within 3 days.

I would like anyone, who cares to enter, to leave either their email or some other means of contacting them immediately after the drawing. I want to be able to ship the mermaid prior to going on vacation. THANKS!

To enter the "GIVEAWAY" all you have to do is the following:
1. Leave a comment!
2. In order to have some means of identifying you, should you be the lucky winner of this one-of-a-kind, fantasy sculpture....PLEASE leave the following:
3. Either your email or another means of contacting you. If you don't want to leave your email in your comment, please forward it to me at my email address:
dzfairies@msn.com

WINNER'S name will be randomly drawn at the close of the giveaway, and WINNER'S name will be posted out here on my DZFANTASY BLOG. WINNER will than have 3 days in which to contact me via email at: dzfairies@msn.com so be sure to leave a unique means of identification. It can be your first name, middle initials, nickname, etc.
If posted WINNER does not respond within the 3 day time frame, a NEW name will be randomly picked and posted out here on DZFANTASY.

This enchanting mermaid is one of my 6.5" tall wall style mermaids. She has a loop on the back of her neck, so that you can either hang her on the wall, dangle her from a bit of colorful ribbon or clear fishing line, or she can also be displayed by standing her on a shelf, with her "tacked" to the wall. She is NOT freestanding!

Her upper body/face are 100% silk fabric. Her face has been individually hand-drawn, needle-sculpted and hand-painted by me. Her eyes and lips have a coat of crystal clear lacquer, which gives her a very life-like look and shine.

Her tail fabric is a gorgeous, rainbow batik fabric. Her colorful hairdo was designed out of one of my favorite Italian yarns, and has a metallic thread running throught the soft wispy eyelash...which gives her a very magical look. Her accents are Swarovski crystals, real sea shells, and tiny glass seed beads, which have been hand-sewn onto the mermaid. She even has a Swarovski crystal belly button.

GOOD LUCK!!

  36. Whow such wonderful work. It reminds me of the time my son was in Jr. High & played sick. I said yes not knowing an English project was due. I found out he was to create Christmas Past, Present or Future & turn it in that day. So I sat him down with an old sock in around 2 hours he created Christmas Future, teacher loved it.
    It isn't anywhere near you quality though, just the idea.Thank you
