How about a mermaid?

[Spookeay]

Cool

That is really cool Heather. Where did you get the pic and how did you transfer it to the vinyl?

 

[Spookeay]

It's one of these
This is the one I have, the best one becasue it will cut 12" high by any long.

You can get them at craft stores for about $150. Great machine. I use it in my business all the time for doing lettering on boats and other things.
It uses cartridges for fonts. But,,,,,,,,,, you can buy a program called SURE CUTS ALOT. this will allow you to have the one cartage that comes with it and access every font on your computer. Also the program can take simple images such as line art and automatically resolve the image into a cad file the program can handed. IN this case I found a line art clip of Arial from the little Mermaid and ran it through the program and then added text from the text option and Vh-La. peal and stick.

I'm sure Gary will be Speechless again.

I think that it is a classy touch that personalizes your boat Heather and your idea certainly does get one's imagination in gear. Keep doing your thing and always remember that you don't need Gary's approval for everything that you do. You probably already know that and are just trying to goad him into making one of his smart ass remarks. I really think that you secretly enjoy the friendly banter with him though. :smt014

I thought it was cute to. Every one who's seen it likes it.
Only my friend Lori said "Oww you should colour it in!" I said I thought that would be too tacky.

I have the same mermaid on my transom next to my boat's name...my daughter picked it out when we were designing the name...

It needs some blue LED's shining on it to get the proper effect.

Yes blue would do it, and Sebastian singing "Kiss De Girl" I love that song.....The underwater effect would be awesome in the cabin...dark ceiling...bubbles...Man we could do a lot with that... theme.!!!
