Deep sea mermaid soft sculpture

I have become a bit obsessed with making mermaids, I have 3 more in the works but I managed to concentrate on this one last night to finish her, poor thing only had one arm complete and no fins.

 

She is made from felt, wire and silk, with glass beads and howlite beads to add texture and detailing. 

She is mostly blind, hence her milky blue eyes, but eats well due to the light stalk she has protruding from her forehead.

 She is available in my Etsy shop: deep sea mermaid

Mermaid textile sculpture in bright blues and yellow

This little mermaid is my latest completed piece. I made her using felt and a wire armature, then covered her with silk in vivid blues and yellows.

 She has royal blue fins, with one on her head to create a beautiful wave of hair.


She has beaded details on her tail, torso and hands.

I enjoyed making her very much, creating a fish girl meant I could use extremely colourful fabrics.


She is approximately 35cm or just under 14 inches long including her fins.

This mermaid is available to adopt in my etsy shop, Gilded Creatures
