Arrival 02/06/2021: Gulliver Small Mermaids! 🧜♀️🐟
(WAHH I thought I posted this weeks ago! VERY UPSET!!! 😫)
Continuing the trend of getting pelted with doll orders from last year, this one was from April 2020. I carried their unopened shipping box to work with me and opened them on my lunch break. ~//_//~ 💦💦 When I was first planning Pisces I had wanted to get her a little mermaid baby- but the one I was originally considering seemed to be discontinued right out from under me! So when these came up, I just burst at the seams LOL
I ordered these two in a sort of “light/dark” duality palette- they are supposed to represent the two fish in Pisces sign. They are Pisces’ babies, and while they are exceptionally small next to her, I think it’s precious?? I think it feels quite magical and sort of appropriate for a mermaid/sea creature... Speaking of now-a-mommy Pisces, I’ve been working on some updates for her design so I’m excited for them to all be together for this. +///~~///+ My current plans for these two are as follows (zoomed in 200%)
(This might be a repost but w/e it’s for posterity now.) I think I’m leaning toward naming them Flo and Ebbie, after the pull of currents... but I can’t decide who will be who yet.
Also OHHH my god I knew they were positively tiny, but holding them myself was an entirely different experience!!! 😭 They are SO ABSOLUTELY tiny. They can hold sewing pins like swords. I even have tiny hands (my ring size is a 4) and these are still just teensy in my palm. They’re sturdier than they look, but I am still rather delicate with them. I have no idea how to begin to make them wigs without adding too much bulk on their heads, but we’ll just have to figure it out!!! 😤
