This is the smallest of my "wall" style mermaids. She measures 6.5" tall, and her tail fin span is 5". Her upper body and face are 100% silk fabric. I individually hand-drew, needle-sculpted and hand-painted her face. Her eyes and lips have a coat of crystal clear lacquer which gives her a very "life-like" look and shine.
Her tail fabric is a quality batik fabric in shades of aqua. She has a lovely, long flowing hairdo, which I designed out of two different Italian yarns. One is a soft, wispy "eyelash" style yarn, and the other is a sparkling/glistening yarn, which makes her look as if she just come out of the sea!
Her accents are real sea shells in her hair, necklace and waist accent, along with Swarovski crystals, and tiny glass seed beads. She has a loop on the back of her neck for either hanging on the wall, or to dance from a bit of clear fishing line or ribbon. She may also be displayed standing on a shelf, if she leans against something or is tacked to the wall. She is NOT freestanding. You may also move her arms up or down a bit, as well as her tail fins.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I am a fairy collector. I have fairies made of various mediums but I don't have any cloth fairies. This little stunner would be a welcome addition to my collection.

DZ, I think this mermaid wants to travel! Send her to Northrn Ireland where she can swim in Carlingford Lough, right by where I live. It's a great place for fairies, elves and of course, mermaids!

You do beautiful work. I checked out your Etsy shop, it looks like you have lots of fun with your fairy dolls. How did you get started? I've always wanted to make a fancy doll, but they seem so hard that I've never finished any except a couple of primitive rag dolls. Thanks for sharing, Cindy

You are very good at what you do. I can't even draw a stick person! She is gorgeous. It must take you awhile to create these fairies. I would love to be entered in your delightful drawing. Thank you.....Cindi
