I am not sure I was in two groups at last count, but I am not altogether opposed to the idea, lol! I know I was in group 3. Am I taking someone else's group 1 spot? If so, I will relinquish it
So I started clocking out a prototype for my group 3 playmat. then I realized I *needed* a mermaid to trial play with the mat (yeah, that's the ticket lol!). I am almost finihsed making my prototype. I kinda love her I would love her more though if I had covered her tummy/arms with roving instead of floss, I think. I used a little batting for her belly so she has some shape, then a truckload of floss on top. Her tail is adorable. Well, as I said I am smitten lmao! And possibly a little ADD - must FOCUS and make items I am signed up to design rotflmao!
oooooh..I want to see a picture. I am thinking about flossing the next one's body too, but not sure yet.
I will try to post a picture in a little while
In the meantime, I would recommend using roving over using batting with floss over it the way I did it. I am glad I did the one the way I did it (got it out of my system! lol) but I am not sure how well it will actually hold up to play since I couldn't get the floss super-tight over the batting belly the way you can get it tight over pipe cleaners that are bare. I think after a lot of bending there's a good chance my bendy will start showing batting in her joints or places where she's getting a lot of bending action. Whereas a bendy made wiht belly and roving over it can be needle-felted a bit to keep everything in place.
In other words: I plan to use roving on my next mermaid bendy.
Well - I finished my mermaids! I made a dozen - 2 in each color. Corrie & Rylee snagged 5 of them - for some reason they weren't interested in the blue one Anyway, I made some extra, so I have 3 for trade now. (Tamara, that's not counting the one I made for you to swap - pick your color)
So here is a rainbow of mermaids. They all have beads on their belts.
And here is the backsides - they all have sparkly hair
The colors are more true on the first picture than the second.
i'd love a purple one any chance you can trade me for a pink one too?
I can trade the pink one what do you have to trade??
Unfortunately you can't have the purple one, I already promised it out - which other color would you like? There is the green, the yellow, the light blue and the 2 dark blues to pick from.
