He has a very fancy beard.
You might not see how I got here but I was very inspired by how Bisa Butler uses color.
I found a blue “jewel” button in my vast collection. Perfect!
A Purple Merman!

Another Merman with Whales
This fellow’s hair looks like topiary to me 😆 I’m not sure how that fits with a merman!
Whales and a narwhal, seaweed and a turtle…
Merman with Whales
I will be putting these first 2 into my etsy shop today.
Here he is, hanging out with all the books.
Hey look, it’s a Merman!
I’ve got several in progress.
Merman (and Mermaid)
Phew-so handsome!
Even his arms have awesome tattoos. I love this fabric! He has a Poseidon button too.
Merman and me :-)
Last Merman, Best 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 back-
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!
Here is a closer look at his back tattoos-
A Purple Merman!
I am really going wild with these mermen! It is so much fun making imaginary beings.
Deciding on the thread colors for his face was a challenge- Lilac purple eyes, green eyebrows.
There is actually a print on the body fabric but the purple is so saturated that you can hardly see it.
Red-haired Merman with Skeletons
He has it all- gorgeous dark red hair and skeletons!
I tried to do a macrame sort of knot for his belt, but it doesn’t show now that it is sewed down.
and a Blue Merman
I make their eyes the color that I imagine the water they swim in.
So this fellow is definitely a cold water merman. His tattoos are mostly ships and then a few palms.
An antique shell button and some star beads.
