Horses and tentacles- I’m not really sure how they go together.

He has a dark peach or tan skin color.

I probably need to take another photo of his skeleton tattoos’ head. The skull isn’t showing.

He has silver rickrack and a button with a horseman going the other way. Both of the belt components have a personal history. Anytime I use some metallic rickrack, it comes from costume making for my kids when they were little. So probably at least 30 years old. The button is reclaimed from a poncho my Mom made me when I was 12. It makes me happy to give them new life.

Skeleton Lady on his back.

I figured a pool photo was the perfect place for a Merman.

His hair fabric goes with his tail fabric!

He has some little “jewels” at his waist.

Lots of happy skeletons!

Here is a close-up of his hair-

Oh those gorgeous tattoos!

Beautiful hair :-)

I wish the pops of metallic ink on the tail fabric would show up better in the photos. The tentacles have silver dots and those are gold details too.

The ladies!

I gave him some twisty hair horns but the hair fabric camouflages the details.

He has a Neptune button-

He has whales and fish and swirls!

A bubbly beard and hair.

The fish prints on his tail are so beautiful. Below is a stingray (?) on his bottom.

I imagine that a dark blue merman would live in arctic waters.

I made him a beard with curls.

He has skeleton tattoos so I gave him a skull button to match.
