Mermaids!

Mermaid Dotees 04, originally uploaded by ivoryblushroses.

Mermaid Dotees of my own design. I've been having fun making many types of Dotees, but I've fallen in love with these! Such fun to make. I suspect they will soon be joined by others!

The hair is composed of my own handspun wool yarns, DMC pearlescent effects embroidery floss (difficult to work with), sea green nylon thread and some textured cotton weaving yarn, all strung here and there with beads. I love the effect this mix of yarn and thread gives!

I'd love to hear what you think of them!
