Anything but a Card - Let your Imagination Fall into a Fairy Fantasy
After dividing and transplanting some aloe a couple of weeks ago, I kept looking at it thinking it looked like a Kraken rising up from the sea the way the plants leaves twisted and turned, which made me think of mermaids, which in turn made me think of my friend Jamie....so I made a mermaid planter for her.
...so squint if you need to, but doesn't the aloe plant look like a Kraken?
( As you read this, Jamie and I are currently traveling down to Panama Beach, Florida for some fun in the sun time!! woo hoo!! Frou Frou drinks, hopefully some hunky men to oogle, white sandy beaches, pool...::sigh:: )
anyhoo...
The mermaid Cricut cut actually had her right arm extended with a Neptune's fork in her hand but I trimmed off the fork and bent her arm over for a more dimensional look. She is attached with big fat chunky glue dots.
I added a string of shells around the outside rim of the saucer, and mod podged some green and blue layers of tissue paper along with some swimming fishes.
I added some sand and shells to the top layer of soil to carry on with the theme:
( look at the cute little baby aloe poking up through the ground! ...or should I say a baby Kraken? )

This is fabulous! I love how you created such a fun home for the aloe Kraken! Thanks so much for sharing with us at ABAC!
My aloe is in dire need of splitting and resembles a Kraken feeding frenzy right now... Thanks for the inspiration and the reminder!
