No African Wax fabric on this fellow but he has an awesome batik fabric beard and fins.
His button is like sea glass.

Merman with Tall Ships
More African wax fabric- it is so inspiring!
Ships and more ships.
Blue Merman
I’ve been working on all the different stages of mermen. I have a few sewed up and ready to finish. I will post them as I get them done. I also cut out a whole lot of new mermen bodies (and also some other fellows) and I’m in the middle of dyeing them up. Here is the first merman finished-
I am excited about some new African Wax Print fabrics that I bought recently- I think they will make amazing merman tails.
His blue “skin” is a bit mottled but I decided that was fine for a merman. I just love the fish!
Last Doll of the Year
This is the last merman and the last doll of 2021. My etsy shop will be closed for shipped items from 12/21 to 1/1/2022.
This hair fabric has always looked like kelp to me so perfect for a merman’s hair.
He has another one of the bone buttons.
Why yes, I am have fun with these beards!
He has big fish on his tail.
I’m trying all kinds of experiments with these long bearded or haired fellows.
He has a large-holed bone button. I have a lot of these- they were commonly used on underwear around 1900.
Skeleton pirate tattoos-
A Purple Merman!
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!
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 :-)
