A blue scallop shell rendered in soft watercolor sits centered on a cream ground, its ridged form luminous with layered washes of cyan and turquoise. Gold cursive script reading "mermaid at heart" floats beneath in warm contrast, creating a whimsical declaration that pairs oceanic imagery with emotional honesty. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
