The mermaid could in time will become the  arillas equivalent to Dublins molly malone [the tart with the cart ] or james joyce[the p***k with the stick] can  anybody think of  a witty nickname for the statue.

Looks fab but like others say her hand looks a tad 'big'...... love the sand one!

All I am thinking about is......-
"Woe betide any forum member who comes back with something like.............
.......... That sand mermaid reminds me of ************* that well known Arilliac "

GOTCHER YALL THINKING NOW THEN???

She was meant to look like CANYOUGUESS thought you might like to see some more sand art that was done on the north end the second week we were there LOADSOFSAND.except foe the croc that was done for the kids.

Absolutely wonderful viv. Now I have to go on my own, I never take the camera to North beach. But your pics have given me second thoughts. No-one, not even Eggy would think the worst of me taking pics of such great sand art. Thank you for posting them.

And for my halfpenny worth, I like Jean's sculpture, and feel it adds to, not detracts from my favourite mile of coastline on earth.

I must admit that I was getting on quite well with the lady in the 2nd pic.......

...... But then , when the tide came in she buggered off. - Maybe something I said??

So , c'mon peeps! - Name the Arilliac who posed for these! - A mine field beckons!!
( I did the tortoise. Took so long and was so hot I ended up shell shocked!! )

And the "bear". The smile reminds me of some one on his 5th Mythos.

THE MERMAID´S HANDS???
Dear fellow Arilliacs, can it be that you have never met a real Mermaid? Because then you would know that her hands are webbed!
Hence, if you ever meet one with unwebbed hands, beware! She is a fake!
(By the way, there is a lovely short story about a Mermaid by the Italian author Giuseppe di Lampedusa, called The Professor and the Siren, which I recommend. It has been published in Penguin. Anybody who falls in love with a Mermaid does it at his or her peril.)

OMG. And I thought it was me who had problems. I love the Gail with the Tail. Jean has served Arillas well with a controversial sculpture. Personally I

[Eggy]

A book about a Mermaid , published by a Penguin? - Definitely something fishy going on!

These are great.
Know it's not Arillas but for those who like sand art what about these two..
