Articulated Mermaid Paper Dolls

I adore everything about mermaids....always have.  They're beautiful, magical and have wonderful powers of telepathy & clairvoyance. They've been part of many cultures for thousands of years, too, so how can they NOT be real?  Come on!  Every summer I make a couple of mermaid projects and this summer it was these articulated mermaid paper dolls. This project is great for adults who need a little childhood whimsy!  Have fun and MAKE YOUR MARK!
My trio of shimmery paper dolls painted with Finetec Pearlescent Watercolors from
Royal Talens.  I love these paints!
I love how they shimmer!
A little wire and a pearl bead make a perfect brad for movement!
