Cover Girl - Doll Crafter and Costuming
Northern Star Mermaid ... An Alaskan artist offers a wintry take on the legendary tropical sirens.
I'm so excited about this! My little mermaid is on the COVER of the December issue of Doll Crafter and Costuming magazine! It was a total surprise too! I only found out about a week ago, and then only because I had written to Pat, the editor, asking what issue the pattern would be in. I can't wait to see it in person - magazines always take forever to get up here. The pattern is actually a bit different from the Ruby pattern - she has a different tail shape and she has teeny tiny 1" hands! Plus the parka and hood, of course. So everyone needs to run out and buy the magazine! Make your own doll - then send me photos of YOUR Northern Mermaid.
Wooo hooo congratulations!! Can't wait to get my copy
