Handmade big mermaid dolls ....

I sold all my little mermaid dolls last Christmas and thought it might be a nice thing to make some bigger ones....I have in fact been asked to make some even bigger than these...

From the top of her head to the tip of her fins...each mermaid is about 15 inches tall.

They are made from curtain eight fabric. I stuffed each to the fins which have a layer of wadding inserted in them.I machine quilted the fins to represent a fishes tail...

Each doll has something pretty in her hair and a bikini top edged with trimming...I printed the eyes...embroidered the mouths, giving each a slightly different expression...The hair is acrylic yarn

Each doll is slightly different....
