Project Mermaid was a bit of fun craziness on my part—my version of TV’s “Project Runway.” 
I intended to release four new designs each week, allowing readers to vote for their favorite. At the end of twelve weeks, the winning designs would be featured on a calendar.
Time constraints put this “virtual reality show” on hiatus indefinitely—but, we’ll see. Perhaps when I get some free time, I’ll fire it up again. In the meantime, here are the results from the first two weeks:
WEEK ONE’s Challenge was: “Found Objects.” Caught Looking Fabulous was the winner!
WEEK TWO’s Challenge was: “Baubles and Beads.” “Shake That Booty” was the winner!
Click on the photos to see the designs and the results of the votes!
Cool idea mouse – they way you’ve set this up is great! And lovely work as always.

“Fashionating”…lol, I wish I had thought of that!
:-D Thank you!
Fashionating indeed. Love these gals. Just beautiful!
Wow, you come up with the neatest ideas
(I voted by the way)
Aw, thank you Leola!
Mouse, your paintings are fabulous! And, as a serious fashionista myself, I declare that you ought to start your very own label. I can just see your designs on the cover of Vogue, et al!
lol, Thanks, Tessa!
I like these. They’re so sparkly.
Great idea!!! and I love “Caught Looking Fabulous”

Astonishingly awesome art! Great website! Here’s a poem I wrote about mermaid-wishing that your art illustrates so beautifully:
I think I would feel good
if I could scuba in Aruba
like a mermaid underwater
like King Neptune’s only daughter
with the warm, clear turquoise water
my exclusive alma mater
I could swim fast like an otter
I would skim past like a yachter
I’d be long, tanned and trim
in fact a synonym with joy
If I would just act on my whim
and get out of here— Oh, boy!
