Customizing Toys by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

'
Sarah's last breath of life was unseen as she fought a lonely battle against the sea.
It had been a beautifull day and her plans for its end could not of been so horribly different.
She drowned at 17. 15 hrs just off the revetment opposite the paddling pool lake at Sandown, Isle of Wight.
From there, the long shore currents should have taken her to the white cliffs where her battered body would have been eventually found and her family and freinds could start grieving.
It was unfortunate but her now lifeless body got tangled with the drift lines of a massive red bouy.
The red bouy indicated the outlet pipe for all the Islands effluent.
Molecule by molecule her body rebuilt itself. Days past, months, until a freak current broke her freeeee.
With the sun beating down on her blubberous form, new life exhumed.
The new life and adventures of Swamp Babe.
