Mara the Mermaid:
Navajo Wheel clay;
glazed with Purple undercoat
and Celadon overlay on head and shoulders.
Mara modeled for me along (and in) Strawberry Creek in Berkeley;
in return, I had to take her out for coffee afterwards.
Guess where she insisted we go?
P.S. Apparently, there already is a famous Mara the Mermaid out in the world, but I only discovered that via a Google search for my own blog entry, so there's no relation between that Mara and mine. Purely coincidental.
