You can tell when Princess Aqualia gets angry.

The octopus on her head glows pink and orange.

You don’t want to cross an angry little Sea Princess wielding a fish truncheon.

I have no training in art or design – everything I do is from teaching myself. Most times it works, but sometimes it doesn’t. Every time it is fun and I’m still inspired to keep designing and making.

My first love is jewelry design but I occasionally find or create an image that I love enough to want to wear it or hang it on my wall – and that’s what you will see here on Red Bubble.
