A view of the top, I still have a long way to go, but its a good start.

More embellishment added. I found I cannot push a pin through the air dry clay. So I have had to use silicone to add the flowers in her hair.

Starting the embellishment process on float #2. I have to drive 0 pins down along the sides of the mermaid to have something to anchor my thread to. No matter what, she must have beads.
