Mirabilia Mermaid of Atlantis





The curse of the Mermaid has receded back into the murky waters where it sprang from! At last, a finish. Stitched on 32ct Laurel Linen, 6 days of beading. I substituted the coat of arms for a modified seahorse from Bluebeard, felt more organic to me and you know how I love to change patterns!

The treasure took 3 days of beading! While beading, backstitching and blends are not my favorite, it was worth it! Atlantis is the 3rd addition to my School of Sirens. The Maiden.

  2. Note: some of the beads in this project were left over from "Stargazer." The connection the commonality created somehow enders me more to this piece. The Maiden
