A Real Artist

When we travel, we like to find something that is one of a kind. Usually hand made and art related.
Found this beautiful piece of art work at the market we went to in Cuba. It seems to be created on a piece of plywood.  Love this mermaid.
It even has an element of mixed media. I had to barter hard to get it for a good price. I wasn't even sure it would fit in the suitcase. It looks like a test run for various ideas. 
The same artist did the match box. the detail is so intricate and exquisite.

The mixed media element on the mermaid makes it even more awesome - experimenting usually leads us to our favourite stuff, right? And that's a matchbox? Crazy detail!!
