He is all around darker than the last one- Dark flesh tone, darker hair, darker eyes-
He has a beautiful mermaid on his chest and a button with an anchor at his belt.
He has a little tail fin. And a top knot/man bun.
This merman swam off to his new home this weekend!
Here is a close-up of the stitching on his face.
Mermaid on his chest, and some jewels on his belt.
And another mermaid on his back.
Are you in the Chicago area? This weekend is a busy one including Open House Chicago, an architectural tour. The building I live in is part of the tour and we have put together an art show with 12 artists in the building.
I am excited to be showing my work in person again! Here is some more info about the event-
I would love to meet you if you can come by!
I am hoping his hair looks like it is moving in a current.
He has beads on the ends of his beard.
Tall ships and more tall ships! A green glass button and an embroidered rickrack belt-
I love these African fabrics with slightly sparkly, metallic designs. This one makes me think of a seaweed forest.
And this batik fabric looks like bubbles- perfect for a merman’s beard.
Silver rickrack and a glass button-
Yes, he has a man-bun.
Flamingos and aqua hair- he is a tropical merman for sure.
He has little beads on the end of his beard. This is the back of his hair-
Flamingos and Palms. He has a fish bead and silver rickrack at his waist.
He has some awesome tattoos- A rooster on his belly and a goat on his arm. I think he is trying to tell us something.
And look at that awesome moose button!
Next up, some mermen.
He has hunting design for his “tattoos”.
A man on a horse on his chest, and a stag on one arm and hunting dogs on the other.
Suspender and boot details-
Here is a peak at his chest-
And look at this button! I love it when I find the perfect one! Not really sure what that animal is?!
Of course he has his axe.
He is in my Etsy shop here.
Perfect for the Autumn weather we’ve been having!
He is made of some classic toile for his tattoos. His chest is mostly trees which I thought was appropriate. He has high boots with (decorative) laces.
Here he is, hanging out with Jasper.
And in the garden-
