Hmm...how about some Mermen? I could try that? Any group who wants 'em

Elijah allows me to dress him nicely and take a picture!
Y'know...Group 2 already has a king triton (who is a merman) so I guess group three would be better. I would say both but I don't want to over commit either!!
I'm thinking of some beads on the belt and maybe some in the hair. I'll have to see if the ones I have look too big for that. I definately want some type of hair decoration. I'd like for the body to be more flesh toned rather than white - I'll have to search my wool stock and see if I have a better color. I don't think I'm gonna embroider anything on them.
What do you all think of the shape of the tail? Is it good or should I tweak it some? And do you all like the monochromatic look with the hair matching the tail/top or should I try some multi color combos? I was not gonna make them all pink, but rather a variety of colors.
Ooh, those are really nice (as I shove my head into a bag in shame)! I like the monochromatic coloring -- you could even use roving that was a lighter shade of the tale (like light blue "skin" to go with a darker blue tail). Make sense?

Lori I'll take the open spot in group 2. Duncan would love all those things. Put me down tentatively for sunken treasure but I may change that depending.

Could you make some sort of little cave for hiding for group 3?
I'm not 100% sure of the mat yet, I was thinking surf and turf reversible, but I haven't really planned it through well yet. The sea side was going to have a treasure chest that flips up to reveal some treasure, and will also have some seaweed I think. And/or a shell applique that will be like a pocket for mermaids to use as a bed? i don't know! lmao
I'm stumped on the sand side - thought it would be fun for the mermaids to come up on shore, but now I'm leaning more towards doing more embellishments on the sea side and leave the sand side pretty plain.
Tamera - make an extra for me and we'll trade something Seriously, that sounds like a fabulous playmat. I'm thinking go all out on the sea side and just make it one sided because it sounds very cool and I'm thinking your treasure chest might be better if it didn't need to be reversable KWIM.
Huntersmama - how about a cove like I posted about in the sea polyp craft along?? Maybe not so large like a bendy house, but a fish sized hideout?
ALso - I would like a spot in group 1, I'm thinking of Octopi
put me down for a spot in group one. I can make sunken treasure (I am a beader dontcha know... ) I would also like to see the play mat idea. Thank you...

I think having both mermaids and merman in the same group is great!
