Mermaid

For more than twenty-five years I have been completely fascinated with the idea of mermaids. Ron Howard's 1984 film, Splash, was definitely the cornerstone of a captivation that has grown so intense, I now find it all but impossible to pass any image of a mermaid without "ooohing", "aaahing" and in some cases purchasing whatever the item is.

The mythology, the history, the legend; simply put, I heart mermaids.
A lot.


I'm sure you can image the pleasure I felt while putting this little charmer together. I quilted her fabric tail and used wool felt for both her body and hair. She's lightly stuffed and registers in at a petite five inches tall.
