Mermaid Pictures
I don’t think I’m much of a pack rat, but I do have a few unique collections…I think. I have a collection of paper (free giveaway) bookmarks from all over the world, which my students, friends, and family members bring to me when they visit a bookstore in Peru, in London, in Paris, in Spain. I have Nicolas Cage memorabilia (though can it be called memorabilia when he is still alive, still making movies, and still quite young and far from death?). And I collect mermaids. I have “antique” mermaid vases, mermaid tarot cards, and, of course, beautiful mermaid pictures.
Some of the mermaid pictures are on greeting card sets. Some of the mermaid pictures are cut-outs from magazines, newspapers, Starbucks wrapping paper, and ads. Some are in coffee-table books, featuring the mythology of mermaids and showing mermaid pictures and prints by world renowned artists. (Did you know mermaids didn’t start out as half-fish, half-woman creatures…but half-bird, half-woman entities?)
I used to think it was challenging to find mermaid pictures, until I became an avid net surfer and then later, when I was building my website. I found the coolest animated mermaids—not the obnoxious flashy, rolly, bouncy, spastic kinds of animation, but the subtle tail-flipping, or fish-half-sparkling kind of animation that doesn’t drive visitors to your site nuts…or worse, into an epileptic seizure.
I have also recently found artist’s renditions of mermaids (or of what they envision mermaids to look like)…. Patricia Campell does a light, springtime-style mermaid in yellows and pastels, making the mermaid a nurturing, earth-mother kind of being. Though you might be a bit put off by them, Tatiana poses for mermaid photos (ala Bette Midler, Daryll Hannah, et. Al.). And at The Mermaid Retreat, which a bit “young” with its cursor tail animation and other trendy baubles and such, has—besides myth articles and the like—some neat shots.
So my sister created a life-sized mermaid of botanical elements (she is a botanical sculptress), and photographed it for me. I found a larger-than-life-sized bronze mermaid for about three grand on the wharf in San Francisco in an antiques store. And I have, of course, all the Ariel toys—the electric toothbrush, the dolls, the car ornaments. But sometimes a mermaid poster or picture—collected in a book by Elizabeth Ratisseau, Kerry Colburn, or in one of the other 1400 books on the sirens of allure and intrigue—is all one needs to round off the collection of mermaid pillows, mermaid candlesticks, mermaid watches, mermaid…..
