This is the last one for now.
She has tiny jewel buttons in her hair.
And another one at her belly.
I had this lady all ready to post last night but then I saw that there was a black thread across her tail- which was invisible to me until I was looking at the photos! It is not the first time that has happened. Anyway, I’m onto Lumberjacks now.
I think that this fish scale coloration is probably the most realistically like a fish; not something I ever worry about!
Here is the back of her hair-
She is contemplating her former life in Lake Michigan :-)
More streaming hair. I like how the batik fabric looks bubbly.
I had to search through my button drawer to find the blue “gems” for her belt.
I might be having too much fun with the hair!
And hey! There is me in my studio!
Spiral purple hair :-)
Embroidery with variegated thread- I love these threads!
Her “belt” goes all the way around the back.
She will be going into my Etsy shop today.
I couldn’t let summer go by without making some mermaids.
Yes I will be showing some dolls with bare breasts. Cover your eyes if that’s going to be a problem!
I am having fun doing the embroidered tails. There are lots of different ways to make mermaid tail scales :-)
The back is plain-
I love these bright colors.
Butterflies and flowers.
This is the last baby for now. Onto the next thing!
Little Baby asleep in the garden.
Work continues slowly around here. I have had family visiting which was a nice distraction. Also, my birthday! The real reason for the slowdown though, is that I had a bad fall 2 1/2 weeks ago and recovering has really slowed me down. I cut my head, broke a tooth, broke my glasses, other scrapes- all of which has meant appointments and time away from what I’d like to be doing. Also, recovering turns out to be very tiring so I’ve been resting a lot. Slowly I am feeling more like myself. Onward!
This time a big bird baby- NO, not THAT big bird!!
Green and red- my favorite.
Baby has a leaf hat-
Poppies!
The back is plain.
