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-

Silver Fox/Fish(?) Merman 😆
I don’t think silver fish is a good name for this handsome fellow!
His tail is beautifully silver metallic.
An antique button.
Top knots-
And hanging on the wall-
Merman Number 2
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!
Fire Hot Merman
Look at me! I’m making some new things! It is still going slowly and will continue like that for a while because we will be closing on a new home soon and then there is all of that to deal with.
This is a Fire Merman- what?? you say?! I’ve read about places in the ocean called hydrothermal vents. They are underwater volcanically active areas and all kind of strange creature live near them. This fine fellow fits right in.
I wanted to make his hair look like flames.
He has an antique glass button, black with some gold “waves”.

And hanging out in the backyard…
The last dolls of 2022
Happy New Year!!! I’m not sure how many new pieces there will be in 2023 since I will be packing up my studio and setting up a new one somewhere. But, these are the last 2 of 2022- one that I forgot to post and the other that I finished yesterday.
Yesterdays doll is this dark purple merman.
It is hard to tell in the photos but the tentacles are printed with silver dots and the gold color “leaves” are also metallic.
Also, more hair/horn/dreadlocks… I spend so much time fussing over the hair details and then they hardly show!
And one last fish; a 3/4 size one-
and a comparison to my regular fish-
Okay, now I am really done with 2022!
Another Merman with Whales
I gave him some twisty hair horns but the hair fabric camouflages the details.
He has a Neptune button-
Merman with Sea Creatures
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.
Dark Blue Merman
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.
Tentacle Merman
Some more fantastic fabric! This tail fabric originally had a cream background and I over-dyed it in a bunch of different merman colors. Hopefully you will be seeing some soon!
It also has some metallic print although it is not as obvious as in the other merman.
You can kind of see the metallic here in the dots and the petal shapes.
Here is a close-up of his amazing hair-
He also sold at the show.
Silver-tailed Merman
I might have fallen in love with this fellow.
I am so excited about my new African wax print fabrics. This one glows with metallic silver which I think looks like seaweed.
His hair looks like horns.
He found a new home at the Paradise Arts Festival but hopefully I will get more made before January.
