I wonder when a merchild brings home a pearl to her mother if it is like when our children bring home a rock that has been sitting out in the back yard. It takes all we have in us to say..."OH my isn't that lovely!" instead of "why do you have to keep bringing these into the house?" In any case, this Mermother seems to be just delighted with her daughter's find. They are created with pen and ink, watercolor, Sakura glitter gel, on 140lb Strathmore cold press watercolor paper. In person as with all of my art this card is so much more vibrant and intricate in real life. Thanks for bidding! :)
