Canned Tuna = A-Okay
Canned Mermaid....
Okay, I wont even go there. Sorry for the unpleasant visual.
I wanted to come up with an illustration to fit in with this weeks Illustration Friday topic of "Canned," but I have to say that I've been a bit uninspired lately.
Gracie had drawn this gorgeous mermaid, and I couldn't wait to color her in, so I decided that maybe, just maybe I could tie her in with the IF theme for the week. Did I fail miserably? Yeah, probably. But I'm pretty happy with the final result of the mermaid, though!
Its no secret that Gracie loves mermaids. This ratty little mermaid doll, which I got for her from the Dollar Tree about a year ago (and is amazingly still intact, minus her tail fin which was bitten off by a shark) is to date, Gracie's favorite toy. This mermaid goes just about everywhere with my hot-pink cheerleading skirt wearing three year old.
And a scene like the one in the picture above, where Gracie is wearing her dress up clothes and twirling around the living room with her mermaid, is a very common scene in our household. 
My mermaid-loving, cheerleader sure is cute, if I do say so myself.
And our mermaid illustration is now up in our collaborative shop, Tootsie and Grace.
Enjoy!

I had a "My Little Mermaid" growing up and loved her! Gracie is getting prettier everyday!
Gracie is how old? Three? and she drew this? Wow! She has her mom's artistic talent genes, for sure! I love your collaborative works. The colors are brilliant. What a gem of a piece!
Gracie is so cute. I love the mermaid picture and that cute little cheerleading outfit. What a cute little girly girl.

It's a lovely coordinated effort!

I'm glad to see that are still reading my blog. I always enjoy your comments. The Marvin thing was pretty bad, I almost didn't put that one, but it's true.

Lovely little mermaids, all of them!
Gracie sure is adorable and so is the mermaid drawing!
I love the art work you do with your daughter. I should give that a try. My youngest is sick today so I am going to go play nurse. Love the blog I will stop by often!
