  14. Thank you for the comments, everyone! I'm glad you find it as interesting as I do.

    Gramma 2 Many - it's a seed pod from a Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) tree. There are dozens hanging from the branches at my mom's house. Most people call them monkey balls, after they dry up and fall to the ground.

Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first?
