Mermaid Ornaments

A while ago I made a bunch of Art Dolls, and one of them was a mermaid. So this year, I decided to make some mermaid ornaments. They are much smaller than the doll mermaid, so details are harder to do, but I think they turned out pretty cute.

I made some standing ones, as well as modified sitting ones. I used my original pattern I used for the doll, but shrunk it down to 40 percent. With the dolls and mermaids, they are made from muslin I sewed and stuffed, then painted. The arms are sculpted from polymer clay.
