Finally a Pattern!

For years I have had doll friends and students ask me to create and sell a pattern for Angelfish the Mermaid Bride.  Well, I finally finished it and the pattern is available at my  ETSY site.



Angel fish collects riches from ship wrecks and has embellished her wedding "tail veil" with her treasures. In this photo she examines her wedding ring.  Her pattern features detailed step-by-step methods to needle sculpt which adds dimension to her cotton torso and face. Color is added with pens and pencils and taught in an easy to understand method. Create this elegant mermaid doll with free form embellishing, including silk ribbon embroidery stitches, embroidery and fabric manipulation.  Embellishments include lace appliques,  beads, buttons and silk flowers. Learn to naturally pose feminine articulated hands gracefully with the option for individual fingers or mitten hands, all including fingernails.  A beginner’s body pattern is also included allowing this pattern to be a fun design for dollmakers of all skill levels.


This has always been one of my favorite dolls.  I wish I had never sold her though she went to the home of a mermaid collector who promised to take good care of her.
