Finally I managed to get some more decent photos of this sjörå ("water nymph").
A sjörå is a female water creature in Scandinavian folklore.
Sjö=lake. Rå/rådare=a mythological being that is a keeper or warden of a particular location or landform, like lakes, forests or mountains.
This rå is natures warden of the lake/s that's within her domain. She is a shapeshifter and can take the form of for example an abborre or gädda.
I have sculpted this using sculpey clay (those scales took forever! xD), molded it with silicone and cast it using resin.
I've then painted it by hand, with inspiration from the Swedish perch fish (abborre), using acrylic colours and given it a glossy protective finish.
She is mounted onto a wooden plate and has a sign that reads: "Sjörå, Exempl. nr.1, Juli-62".
If this doesn't get sold on the Midvinterglöd christmas market, I will make it available for purchase in the Etsy shop, sometime after Dec12.

Very detailed and well done work! The chose of base really complements the piece well. Did you envision the base from the start or decide on its presentation after completion of the nymph?
