Finally finished my swimming mermaid doll. I experimented with sculpting the body manipulating the fabric by folds and tacking down to give the doll a more dimensional appearance. |
I didn't make the breast out of cloth, but decided to just cut in half a commercially bought felt ball. |
To achieve a fish scale look, I used the fan technque with left over pearls and other beads residing on my work desk |
I used a fringing technique that mimics sea weed for the hair |
And with some weights inside her body, I don't have to worry about a doll stand as she's just swimming in the currents. |

This litte girl has so much character. I like what you did with her face too. I have been meaning to come here to see if I missed posts. I love those little buckeyes you shared on FB too!
Have a great weekend.
Carol
