Smushallaum and her soul

Did you know that it is said that mermaids don't have souls??

I have been a little mermaid obsessed just lately .....they seem to have been popping up all over on blogs that I read regularly.

See here,   here,  here and here 

and finally here

 I decided that I wanted to make a journal page featuring mermaids.....what else could I use other than one of the fabulously spooky mermaids from Stampotique?

When I spotted that the latest Stampotique Designers challenge is to use the same stamp twice I decided to enter my page.

 So here is SMUSHALLAUM and her SOUL!
I leave it up to you to decide which is which, I think we are inter-twined with our souls and it can be hard to tell us apart. 

 This is the first verse from this poem 

THE FORSAKEN MERMAN

 I have also recently read this FORSAKEN......based on the above poem....

......told you I was a bit mermaid obsessed lately!
