Mermaid

I wanted to make something a bit different. I've been thinking about beachy, summery things recently, so I thought I might try to make a happy fish. He turned out pretty ugly.

But he did inspire me to try to make a mermaid. I saw some lovely examples on the net and I thought I'd try to design my own. She looks a little odd (needs eyebrows and more hair) but it was fun to make something different.

I'm still planning to make some pretty geisha at some stage when I feel up to sewing something more challenging.
