Bronze Fairy Sculpture, Mermaid, Aquarius Art, Limited Edition

'Cleo: Aquarius-Daughter Birthing' 2013/14 (2023 Updated) This Aquarius-daughter's name is Cleo, an ocean, seashore-sprite, part elephant, crab & human. She's giving birth to one of her eggs. The eye on the back of her head is fully functional, more for greeting visitors coming from both directions simultaneously than for protection from intruders; she's regarded as one of the Wisdom-keepers by All, including the Elementals of the shores & waters. She's also been known to reactivate dormant crystalline veins & outcrops so that they may replenish lands that had been gleaned of their treasures. Cleo is specifically the Protector of all Kelp-babies, small & large; not their bodies specifically, but more importantly, their spirits & how they evolve through the trials of the Ocean at large. She swims with the mermaids & mermen & walks upright on shore. She is also one of the ancient queens of the Elephant Kingdom's sprite-family, who travel with & on the elephants wherever they move or travel to. She is a creator of sacred circles in the sand during New Moon phases for young shore-creatures to make their wishes within & is frequently an advisor to sea turtles as to where there are safe harbors for them to deposit their eggs. When Cleo gives birth, she lays up to ten eggs at a time, four times a month; these eggs are watched over by her eldest children & the ravens of the ocean, evergreen forests. When her kind give birth on islands, migrating birds & dragonflies are called down to babysit from time to time & Earth-elementals too. Cleo belongs to a vast array of ocean-sprites, small & large; this depiction is her actual size, whereas the males are slightly larger & have one additional claw. They love music & lounging in seaweed hammocks during rainy nights, while one of their favorite hobbies is looking for trinkets & unusual items that come ashore after hurricanes & tidal waves.
