So that's one side of the story. The other is a kind of evolution. I'm having a table at this year's Lammas Fair on the seafront and I wanted to make some mermaids to sell. The inspiration came from previous TIFs - so I really have taken it further. In January I admired Alexander Fleming for his discovery, and based my design around that. But I also admired Constance Howard for her innovation (who doesn't?) and Winsome Davies for her hand embroidered 3D items, mostly toys. The Winsome inspiration carried through to February, when I remembered Jack Frost patterns on the windows.
So I designed a fish-faced Merbabe based on the Jack Frost pattern and made up a whole lot of body parts ready to assemble and embellish while I watched the TV in the evenings after the DIY shift!

Your dolls are lovely and thank-you for your welcome. Your work on your other blogs is great as well --- I have got so much to look at, I think I will soon take root at the computer.
