This week’s giveaway of an illustrated Smashed at Sea necklace comes from Tsai-Fi (pronounced sci-fi), a shop that’s stocked with kawaii-based original illustrations and handmade items. Never did it cross my mind that mermaids were the ones having the most fun – I thought dolphins were the only ones rocking the ocean! Also of note are the custom tattoos that others have commissioned from her – see more on Tsai-Fi’s blog.
One lucky winner will be chosen; comment by 6th April to be in the running!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Karlaane.
