Crocheted fantasy mermaid art doll - Meremenin

Crocheted fantasy mermaid art doll - Meremenin

Description

Up for adoption is Meremenin; she loves swimming, summer, and her pet seahorse. Her name is Old English for "mermaid" or "siren" (at least as far as I can tell- I'm still learning).

Meremenin is an art doll with lots of detail, and comes with a mermaid tail and a skirt (for when she chooses to walk on land). Her body is crocheted from acrylic yarn (the pattern for this came from kristieskids.etsy.com) and she's 6" (15.2 cm) tall. With the tail, she's 10" (25.4 cm) tall.

Her hair is nylon and acrylic yarn in sea colors with sparkles. Her skirt is fluffy yarn in what I think is acrylic, and her tail is made from wool and mohair yarn (from WhirligigYarns.etsy.com). On both her skirt and tail are plastic shells, small shell beads, and her skirt also has a plastic seahorse; these things are connected with jump rings. Also on her skirt and tail are lots of plastic stars that are attached with fabric glue. Crocheted onto the doll is grey underpants (can't have a naked mermaid!), but this is hidden by the skirt and tail.

On the doll herself, she's wearing a necklace made from silver colored chain, blue jump ring, and a seashell, and her bra is made from two green and silver star beads fabric glued on (the silver side is up, but you can still see the outline of the green from the other side- it looks really neat!). Her anklet, bracelet, earrings, and eyebrows are blue fabric paint (the bracelet also has silver fabric paint dots), and her mouth is red acrylic paint. Her eyes are plastic safety eyes that I painted a matching blue with acrylic paints.

Like I said, lots of detail! :)

I wouldn't recommend giving this doll to a small child because there are small parts involved.
