Ruby: A mermaid of another color

When I was at the trade show one of the girls in our doll club mentioned that we didn't have any black dolls on display. She liked the mermaids and would have bought one if I had made a dark skinned mermaid. I have never really thought about that before but she was right - most of my dolls are light skinned. So I decided to make her a mermaid.

HA - she might not get it because it's another one I fell in love with. These things are going to take over my house! I'll have a school of them. Thank goodness no one said we didn't have any MALE dolls, LOL. I'm not ready to tackle a merman.

She's MY favorite, too! I really LIKE that fabric you chose for her - & the hair! You could do ethnic mermaids! You know - Hispanic, Asian, Native American ... LOL!
