Mermaid Time again

Posted on by

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 :-)

Garden Baby

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!

Wow, it’s been a whole month!

I’ve been doing things. Making summer clothes, cleaning the studio, working with my plants- indoors and outdoors. I was feeling very uninspired but finally got back to work anyway. Of course, then I got my mojo back! How could I have ignored my favorite mantra- Just do something!

I started here-

Then got to here-

And then here is the first one I finished. And finally photographed.

A sweet soft heather baby.

The body is wool but the leaves and hat are soft cashmere.
