Mermaid Shrines! New Chipboard & Resin Sea Creatures + on Sale!
Filed under Lora Mahaffey, Mermaid Paper Doll Kit, Shrines, Teri Calia
Lots of new or back in stock mermaids (and coral and fish scales and seahorses, (real) seashells and some resin ones, too) — and two fab mermaid shrines!
Plus there a mermaid-themed FREE gift with orders (more info below).
The supplies for both art projects are all on sale: 25% off the Mermaid Shrine SALE collection (which includes all of today’s new items) through WEDNESDAY night, June 10th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
Dia de los Muertos Cat Mermaid Shrine by Teri Calia
Teri made a crazy, colorful Dia de los Muertos Cat Mermaid Shrine! And a collage sheet with parts to make an articulated cat mermaid paper doll of your own!
Her shrine is sitting on a back-in-stock Stairstep Shrine Base: A base (with built-in feet) designed to use with the Arched Shrine Shadowbox, but is just a cool platform by itself! As you can see, it has lots of room for adding a little scene in front of the shrine.
A dia de los muertos (day of the dead) cat mermaid shrine?? Well, why the heck not? I love cats, day of the dead shrines and mermaids are really apropos right now. So, I created a collage sheet with mermaid parts to fit the awesome Articulated Mermaid Paper Doll so you can make this…
Isn’t she cute?? I love her, she has so much attitude! Anyway, you could just make a mermaid (or two) with the new collage sheet and be done with the whole thing… or you could make a whole day of the dead shrine to house her in!
Read more in Teri’s blog post. Use my supply list link as her post was before we moved the site.
Note that all 6 goodies below are new or back in stock (and are all in Teri’s supplies — and on sale).
The Captured Mermaid by Lora Mahaffey
Wow! A totally different look but the shrine, base, coral AND chipboard seahorses are the same items from Teri’s shrine above. Note that the mermaid paper doll is a smaller version (originally only in a kit).

She was found tangled in a fisherman’s net, her arm badly broken. That day there happened to be a journalist at the harbor photographing the boats when the fisherman came in with his odd catch. Before anyone could say ‘Fish and Chips’ she was whisked away to London, her arm repaired with the most advanced technology of the Victorian era, placed in a large, specially made tank and hauled to the British Museum where she was the talk of the nation as folks came in droves to see her.

FREE Gift with All Orders
A Mini Mermaid Paper Doll Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight June 10, 2026)!
First is a chipboard Mini Mermaid Paper Doll (the same one in Lora’s artwork directly above)! Note: that photo at left is from loooong ago, when the paper doll was in a kit (just showing an idea of using a collage sheet tail and head with the chipboard torso).
In addition to the doll itself, I’m also including a little baggie of the original Seashell Sequin Mix (a big larger and pinker than the current batch).
Recap & BONUS: Mermaid Shrine SALE
In addition to the new items and supplies from BOTH artworks, I added a couple bottles to the sale: 6 or 12 Tiny Glass Bottles are back in stock (yay!) and the Chunky 30mm Tall Bottle with Cork are the same bottles that the black sand is kitted in.
There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices: you’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
Note that the 25% off discount on clearance items means that they are over 50% off original prices!
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, June 10th at midnight PST.
