Adapa ooak merboy art doll

Description

Little Adapa has some big fins to fill. Legend has it that his forbearer of the same name helped bring civilization to mankind. This little merboy is not yet ready to assume the burden of any such tasks, though he would be very much up to some smaller tasks. Maybe he could open a window into a magical world and show his new family a glimpse of the merworld?

He is approximately 3 1/2" (8.5cm) tall and 3" (7cm) from hand to hand.

All of my dolls are OOaK (one of a kind) made from patterns of my own design, no 2 are ever alike. Days in the making each one grows into a being with its own personality.

Merfolk have a loop attached to hang them, from a shelf edge, a tree branch or where ever you would like a little magic.

They make excellent decorations all year round. They are for display only, they are not made to stand up to children’s play or contact with chewing pets.

Quilter’s cottons and batiks are my favorite materials for bodies and I use new polyfil to firmly stuff them, occasionally for long thin limbs and fingers I will also use chenille stems. The faces are drawn/painted on with prisma color pencils, fabric dye pens, Lumiere paints and 3d Crystal Lacquer to give dimension and shine to their eyes. Their poses are fixed.

All it takes is an invitation from you to join your family and this delightful little character will be happy to come spread some fairy magic and joy in your home, though sometimes they feel a bit mischievous they seldom act on such impulses.
