and another more classic one-
Some of my new felt- I love having so many colors to choose from. And the button- it has been in my stash since 1980.

a different take on a mermaid
This girl is inspired by mermaids but is not a mermaid. There are loads of photos because I love how she came together!
When I was planning a mermaid inspired girl, I thought of doing it with just the colors. Of course it would have been subtle… and who wants subtle? I’ve been obsessing about Heather Ross‘ mermaid fabric (Mendocino)– knowing that I had to find a way to use it in something. So, put it all together and here she is!
She has an angora blend sweater with a little ruffle around the bottom edge. The sweater closes with an orange button.
Underneath she has a pinafore made from 2 of the Mendocino fabrics- seahorses and mermaids.
The back with it’s button closure-
And here is her cashmere underskirt. It also has a ruffled lettuce edge. And an elastic waist with a button closure.

And sitting-
mermaids ahead
I’ve had mermaids on my mind for a while now and finally have had time to get to work on them.
One done-
Her bangs are dyed wool locks- I thought they looked very fish/ seaweed/ ocean look.
A little starfish in her head-
Hair back- sweater ribbing-
She has a ruffle fin on her bottom-
More photos on flickr.
Some mermaids that I love- Danita’s, Mariana Massarani’s (she inspired my first set of mermaids), and Amy’s to name a few.
