Mermaid Mania

I just can't help myself ~ I love Mermaids!!!!! I haven't been able to pull myself away from the Mermaids long enough to get sewing! Here is what I worked on today:

Behappymerbebephoto Isn't she sweet? This cute "mer bebe" has a little easel back attached to her so she can stand alone. I added some glitter sticker dots to trim her hat & dress and then put a dot on each polka dot on her tail.

She is listed in my Etsy shop right now. She would make a sweet "Muse" ~ encouraging and inspiring!

I also made a Mermaid "window card" that measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". The frame around the front of the card has a clear acetate sheet attached and is mounted with an 1/8" thick double-sided tape that raises it up from the background of the card. The mermaid is also mounted for a 3-D effect. I added 3 faux crystals to look like bubbles. (The rick-rack is actually hot pink, but is scanning in more of a red).

We'll see what tomorrow brings.....until then.....nighty-night!
