Another change to the mermaid pattern
Oh my gosh, I'm pulling a Kai! I'm taking photos before the dreaded glue is dry, LOL. I thought about Jacque's suggestion and I decided that the girls should hold seashells. I found a package of tiny shells at (sshhhh) Wal*Mart - just the perfect size for these little ones. I extended her tail one inch and it makes a big difference - I really like it. I also completely changed the arm pattern - I made them longer, turned them into tubes instead of mitts, and wired them. I think I like this pose better also.
These little faces are killing me though - I'm having a really hard time getting a nice face when it's only an inch or so long. Hopefully someone will like them though. I do but then again they are all my babies. Oh - they can all hold business cards or name cards too. Here's the group shot:
woohhooo they are wonderful....these should sell well...and there faces are all darling

Posted by: Dianne at March 10, 2007 9:42 PMThey are all beautiful and your faces came out beautifully. I love that tail too. You will be a master in making small faces once you are done with these.
Posted by: at March 10, 2007 11:08 PMOoops sorry that was my comment. I didn't think it would go through but it did!
Posted by: shashi at March 10, 2007 11:11 PMI thought that the first mermaid was rather cute but these are gorgeous. Are you going to do a pattern?
You have a really good eye, Judi! I thought the FIRST one was perfect, but you're right! This new one is even better for the longer tail & arm changes. Still, I love them all! The shells are a great touch, and the hair is just right!

These little mermaids are absolutely Darling!
The changes you made to the original made a HUGE difference.
Well Done!
I think these will sell Very well.
Best of Luck!!!

Posted by: Nat at March 11, 2007 6:25 AMYou are doing an excellent job on those little tiny faces....but I like the hands better than the tubes....but that is just me. Love the wild mermaid hair too.
Posted by: Auntie Linda at March 11, 2007 11:31 AMI like this last one a lot, they are all cute and thier faces look great.
