Mermaid Beastie

Mermaids DO exist… and here’s the proof!
Mermaid Beastie, Commissioned Work by CrawCrafts BeastiesThis sweet, scaly Mermaid Beastie was a special commission for a long-time blog follower, and was requested by her family as a Christmas gift.

This Beastie project called for extensive research into the latest trends in underwater fashion! So, Mermaid Beastie is sporting a very sylish seashell bikini top…

Mermaid Beastie's Tail, by CrawCrafts BeastiesGarter stitch gives her tail its distinctive scaly texture, and eagle-eyed readers will notice strategically-placed seams that will allow her to sprawl seductively on rocky outcrops, rather than sitting bolt upright!

But as we all know, Mermaid Beasties prefer not to stay out of the water for too long. Fortunately, I managed to capture one last shot before she slipped beneath the waves and swam away!
