In 2012 a friend asked me to make some art dolls for his grandaughters. They had seen another mermaid doll that I had made on a whim, and requested two similar dolls. The intended recipients were 5 and 3 at the time, and they wanted one purple and one pink mermaid with "princess" elements.
They were made from Super Sculpey and Apoxie Sculpt over an aluminum armature. They are painted with acrylics with added Swarovski crystals, sea shells, pearls and super soft mohair braids. The tail fins are made from Fantasy Film over aluminum wire. By all reports, the girls were pleased with the gifts. These were a lot of fun to make. The full figures measured about 11" tall.
