I posted on Facebook about drawing, noting that I have some difficulty drawing hands.

One of my friends suggested, tongue-n-cheek, that I draw a mermaid wearing mittens.

So that’s how this happened.

This postcard was a lot of fun to draw! Instead of striving for perfection, I had fun with the concept. Like the mittens and the fur-trimmed bra. And the white hair, with blue undertones.

Do you think I should a mermaid for every country?
