The idea is to cast it in resin and then drill it from side to side. I could probably also make some cabs by filling the molds halfway.
I've taken a picture of it next to a penny to show the scale. While I do little things, I don't generally get this small. I'm pretty happy with it!
I've already made a mold and done a few pourings. I probably need to let the mold off-gas a little more though. With such fine detail, I've noticed a lot of air bubbles and one stray air bubble can make the mermaid take on a more zombie-like appearance with half her face missing. I'll post more pictures once I have a finished sample.

Just wow. I would love to be able to do what you do! I really have a desire to make molds of things I do, but I don't really understand the process of what you are doing. Time for some research I guess! I wish that I could have been there to see the exhibit. I do get your postcards and it is sitting next to my computer. It makes me feel like I can be there through the miles. Enjoy the day. Erin
