And #4 Man

Yeah, he looks a bit different!

He has fancy dressed up, old-fashioned skeletons to go with his old-fashioned bathing suit.

Pretend buttons and real buttons.

Third fellow and he has skeletons too

I imagine these fellows using wax on their forelock curls and their mustaches.

Pretend buttons and an antique shell button.

This is the fellow that has inspired this group. He was a special request and a LONG time coming. If you ask me for something it might be a VERY long time (years!) before I get to it!

His skeleton tattoos are colorful and they all look like they are having great fun. His skeleton button from this amazing etsy shop.

I haven’t made one of these fellows in a long, long time but I got a request so let’s go!

He’s got some classic tattoos and an old-fashioned striped bathing suit.

A mustache and a curl in his hair.

Here is a close-up of the pattern on his 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 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!
