Under the Sea

     If it's summer it must be time for me to make a mermaid. So meet Sirene, denizen of the sea and friend of fishes both large and small. Doesn't just looking at her make you feel a bit cooler? 




Sirene is a one of a kind, soft sculpture, cloth art doll made by stretching a cotton knit "skin" over a fabric and wire armature. She has wired limbs, fins, and fingers making her very pose-able. Her webbed fingers and hand drawn face are needlesculpted and her fins are made from metallic silk organza. She has a tiny star fish in her multicolored hair, webbed ears, and a small loop on her back so she can be hung on the wall for display. When completely stretched out Sirene is 18 inches {45.72 cm} long.



NOTE: This is an Art Doll NOT a TOY and, because of her delicate fins and small parts, is Not suitable for small children.

This is the sweet little lady I'm currently working on. Stayed tuned for more details or come visit my instagram for updates and to follow my dollmaking adventures.
