Twine mermaid project completed
I recently posted about a freeform crochet project I'd begun with a ball of twine from a dollar store. Last you saw it, it looked like this:

Well, I finished it tonight, and here's what the completed piece looks like:
Since I'm going to be on the road for the next 16 months or so, I want as much as possible to use the materials at hand when I make something. I stuffed the doll by cutting up a t-shirt from my luggage that had gotten stained and pilled. Her hair is more twine, crocheted into lengths and combined with the leftover yarn from a fuzzy hat that I made last month. Her face is a circle cut from the remaining t-shirt fabric, embroidered with sewing thread I had on hand. Her breasts are dollar store brass shank buttons for jeans.

That's my Christmas or birthday present. I love it! You clever one, you!
