Little Mermaid

A hand carved Ojime mermaid bead is the main attraction on this panel, surrounded by colorful wooden beads as well as bone and glass beads.

A little mermaid - the fabled symbol of beauty, youth and spry elegance, living amid a still largely unexplored oceanic environment. There are many stories of myth and fascination with mermaids. Perhaps they arose from a secret desire to become enshrouded by mystery in order to gain attraction?

But there is no need for that kind of imagination when it comes to females of the real world. All women possess a natural affinity for being somewhat mysterious. And all women are beautiful.

Ojime beads originated in Japan. Always intricately carved, they are worn traditionally on a cord between inro and netsuke.
