Mermaid and Doll photos

Just having a bit of fun with mermaid and doll photos. I thought they looked rather interesting all put together. Photo enlarges to show detail.

Mermaid necklace

Well, I must admit I am pretty excited about these little mermaids. I am very pleased with the way they turned out. And I just love these glass beads. Absolutely the perfect greenish blue color .... they look like the essence of seawater captured in glass. I will make a up a few more of these for festival this weekend and then I hope to start on some of the baby mermaids. I am having far too much fun with this. This mermaid is 3/4" wide and 3" tall.

Mermaid Pendants

I have been very busy getting ready for the Festival. We will make one last trip out there on Saturday to finalize all the last minute details. Opening Day is August 18th. I always like to come up with a new item every year and I have just come up with these mermaid pendants. They are 1/2 inch by 5 1/2 inches, including the beading. I am rather pleased with them and plan to expand on the idea. I think some fairy, dragon and unicorn ones would also be appropriate for Festival.

Experimenting with mermaid shapes

While I rather liked the over all shape of the first collage mermaid, it was too difficult to turn inside out and was all around just uncooperative (mermaids are sometimes like that). I started experimenting with different shapes and finally found one that was easy to handle and looked good as well. The pinkish colored mermaid has a nice shape, which I might just change a wee little bit, but in over all I am pleased with this one.
