Underwater Mermaid, Original Felted Illustration

Description

This 10″ x 10″ felted illustration features the introduction of Viéve, our mermaid, as she first spies the magical shell that will offer her a portal to a woodland fairyland named Lichendia. The illustration is entirely painted with wool and is the very first illustration ever created in the Lichendia series.

A reproduction of this illustration is part of the inaugural story in the Lichendia series, Fairy Spells and Strawberry Elves, published in sprig 2021. The limited first edition hardcover is a high-quality children’s book, signed by the author and illustrator, Hillary Dow. You have the chance to capture a piece of Lichendian history by purchasing an original illustration of the inaugural story. The sale of each illustration helps fund the self-publishing process.
