Pretty mermaids swimming in the formation of the zodiac sign, Pisces. The bubbles, hair, scales, and pearls were painted with metallic enamels that shine beautifully in the light. Inspiration : My love of mermaids, the ocean, and beauty. Misc. Notes : I am a Pisces which might explain why I love the water so much! The mermaids are swimming in opposite directions because this is symbolic of a Pisces emotions, which can be very different. In the original zodiac sign, the fish are skewered together to represent their contstant struggle with their feelings, but I prefered to bind them with a necklace of pearls. The whole design is meant to look like the zodiac symbol for Pisces (which looks like an 'H').
