I call it Reef Dreams, but I'm not sure what it is - a sculpture, a miniature, a cute knick-knack? It is about 5 and 1/2 inches across and about 4 inches tall, so it's larger than dollhouse scale. The image just popped into my head and I felt compelled to make it. Now the question is: would anyone buy this? Apparently people buy little scenes with fairies and dragons or mermaids. Scuba divers would like it, I think.
Everything, including the large shell the scene sits on, is made of clay except for the string of "pearls", the jewels on the crown, and a few beads in the chest. If I make any more, I would probably try to make everything out of clay.
(For those who don't scuba dive or snorkel: the purple thing is an anemone with a clown fish peeking out of the tendrils. It is poisonous, but the clown fish is immune. The tall, thin lavender thing is a sea fan. The green ball that looks like a brain is Brain Coral. The tall red thing is a sponge and so is the yellow thing behind the sea fan. You really do see those bright colors underwater.)
What do you think?
