Merman (and Mermaid)
Phew-so handsome!
Even his arms have awesome tattoos. I love this fabric! He has a Poseidon button too.
Merman and me :-)
Last Merman, Best Hair
I am very excited about this hair! I am sure I will be playing with this kind of thing some more. This fellow- all around awesome! Let’s start with his hair. Front-
and back-
And his gorgeous tattoos-
A sea glass button and a crocheted belt of variegated threads.
Merman with Classic Tattoos
Last week I went to my favorite fabric store (Gather Here) for the first time since March 2020. It was such a treat to look and touch the fabric again! I found this excellent wave fabric and had to come right home and use some. Perfect!
Here is a closer look at his back tattoos-
A Purple Merman!
I am really going wild with these mermen! It is so much fun making imaginary beings.
Deciding on the thread colors for his face was a challenge- Lilac purple eyes, green eyebrows.
There is actually a print on the body fabric but the purple is so saturated that you can hardly see it.
Red-haired Merman with Skeletons
He has it all- gorgeous dark red hair and skeletons!
I tried to do a macrame sort of knot for his belt, but it doesn’t show now that it is sewed down.
and a Blue Merman
I make their eyes the color that I imagine the water they swim in.
So this fellow is definitely a cold water merman. His tattoos are mostly ships and then a few palms.
An antique shell button and some star beads.

Green Merman
A green merman with aqua eyes-
And a wave in his hair!
He has narwhal tattoos and an anchor button.
The First Merman of the bunch
Hurray! A new Merman!
Here he is, lounging around on my porch.
How could I resist this perfect tattoo fabric. He has a sea glass button.
It feels good to finish something again!
Merman #4
He is browner than the above picture shows. I hope it is clearer in the other photos.
An epic nautical battle on his chest and arms, and a beaded belt.
Here is a close-up of the back of his hair-
