"Pandora"
commission for Sophie (a christmas gift to her mom)

The customer requested a rococo, purple/pink themed mermaid just being...fancy!

The octopus was a last minute thought that just progressed from there. The tentacles are repositionable and can be fitted in any 3 holes as the owner would like.

The "cotton" looking hair is what's called mohair and sold by many doll supplies sellers online like ebay. This particular one is Tibetan lamb's mohair. The legs have to be cut off for the tail then modified. I use air dry clay for that, then just paint the tail how you want.

Your custom mermaids are always such a joy to look at!! ♥♥

I love everything about this, especially the fact that you can move the tentacles around the base too!
SO CLEVER!

Thank you :glomp:

I thought it was a good concept. Just about all my customs are "set as is" and cant do anything else with them. This is a special piece so I felt like there should be more to it than just a mermaid sitting on a rock HAHAHA!
....that way the owner can still play around with it some more ^_^
