I Brought Out This Bust Statue’s Inner Mermaid

ADVERTISEMENT

I gave this old bust statue a makeover. She writes: “I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.”— Anaïs Nin

Complete with glitter roots and plenty of sea shells she is now a full out mermaid. I named her Adalia.

Oh no. It was a lovely piece. You destroyed it. That is tragic. It is awful.
