The last dolls of 2022

Posted on by

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!

This is another “in memory” kitty. Charlie was a Maine Coon cat and I can’t really do justice to their beautiful long hair but I worked with the color instead.

I was given special fabrics for the clothes,

and for the bags.

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.

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.
