Here is the last #mermaidartwork for #mermay2019 . She is based on lapis lazuli which has a very long and illustrious career but it very often associated with the night sky due to the fake gold flecks that can be seen scattered in its dark blue. Well this was an interesting series to work on. I think I learnt some things and I hope you enjoyed it.

Today's #mermay2019 wasn't actually a gemstone but it was the prompt so here is the gold #mermaidartwork . Gold has long been associated with wealth and privilege so I went with a Japanese empress.

Meet the fluorite #mermay2019. I love this colour scheme, don't you? 😆. Fluorite's name comes from the Latin word for 'flow' because it's useful in metallurgy. It's also the origin of the word fluorescence. Prompt: #fluorite, warmth, boba, dreaming and brownie.

I found this one really fun to design. I remember the first time I encountered Boba tea I thought it was so strange but now I really enjoy it, especially the fruit flavours. Do you have a favourite Boba tea? . . . . #cukicreates #cukiartist #mermay2019 #mermay #bobatea #bobatime #bubbletea #sweetdreams #createwitheckersleys #brushpen #taiwanfood #blackandwhiteart #dreaming #goodsleep #mermaidartwork #kidsillustration #kidlitart #kidlitartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqSJ-FlwhF/?igshid=1mik921etn6qb

Today's #mermay2019 is emerald. Emeralds have a long history but I decided to focus on how it was said to be a favourite stone of queen Cleopatra and represented the god Thoth. I couldn't resist adding some gold to this one which fit with the subtheme shimmer Prompts: emerald, mythical, coffee, shimmer and brownies Prompt lists: #chyize_mermay #eloenne #alldaymermay #mermaywithall #camillemermay . . . . #cukicreates #cukiartist #mermay #mermaidart #mermaidartwork #emerald #crystal #crystals #crystalhealing #psychicreading #psychicpowers #psychic #foodart #egypt #ancientegypt #thoth #kidsillustration #kidlitart #kidlitartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxmsy2LF6Gx/?igshid=1dhaeu36ieaou

The next #mermay2019 is a lesser known stone chrysocolla. The splotchy blue/green surface reminds some people of the ocean or planet Earth so that is the concept I went with. Prompts: chrysocolla, jellyfish, fog, chocolate truffles and peaches.

#mermay2019 number 3 is Apatite. Apatite means deceit or deception. It got this name because it resembles other stones making it hard to identify. It comes in yellow, green and blue, with blue being the most popular at the moment. Other prompts: moon, doughnut, peppermint and frosting.

Aquamarine stones used to be popular with sailors who believed they would help protect them when out at sea. It was also a stone associated with mermaids 😉 Today's #mermay2019 prompts were: Aquamarine, feathers, cake, choc chip cookies and stars.
