Whimsical Mermaid Stuffed Ornament

This handmade stuffed ornament features an embroidered mermaid holding a pearl, and bead accents in her hair....now on the online shelves of Craftique Redux!  She can hang on a Christmas tree, or just from a cabinet knob all year long....

Carved Wooden Mermaid

I carved this wooden mermaid for a customer who wanted to use it as a topper for a walking stick, so her curves are designed to fit a hand nicely, and her arms are upraised to a flat space on top of her head (he had a nice polished cabochon stone he had planned to fasten there, so it was left flat).  However, he canceled the order and so now she is seeking her next new home, for whatever job she might get (even if it is just being cute on a shelf).  Find her at Craftique Redux:

Mermaid Moon Suncatcher Ornament

There's a very old song called 'It's Only a Paper Moon', and I couldn't get that song out of my head as I made this suncatcher....!  It's now available in my Busy Crow Studio online shop in the Artfire online marketplace.

The mermaid's tale is finished....

The little mermaid is now completed. Her tail is completely beaded, her fiber embellishment has been added, and a beaded Grecian up-do has been styled for hair. She's now ready to bask peacefully on a stone....

A Mermaid's Tail....Follow her progress

I am going to document the creation of an art doll. I made a mermaid doll form, about 4" long. The form is half-polymer, half-fabric, a type which I sell occasionally on Etsy (look for busycrowstudio); and sometimes on eBay (look for serendipitydoo). The mermaid is posed lying on her tummy, with tail outstretched. This form has no hair, because it will be added last. Otherwise, it would only get in the way. I will probably do pure bead fringe for the hair, with some nice fibers blended in. The body is a deep blue color, and the batik fabric matches, but the fabric will be covered completely with bead embroidery.
