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!
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.
This is the little one who is wide awake at midnight.
The cashmere hat is a very light yellow and represents the moon.
The body is made of cashmere coat fabric and is a very dark purple-y blue.
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.
He is the last one for now. I am cleaning up the mess from all these fellows! On to new things- I am not sure what yet.
A beautiful ship tattoo on his chest.
He has an anchor button of course.
This fellow has brown hair and eyes.
More of that amazing fabric. And a button with waves.
One more after this :-)
Such amazing fabric! And an antique shell button.
Dreamy eyes and all the vegetables.
More veg on his back!
All the fruits and vegetables are what summer is all about!
