Mermaid Season 2020: Two New Tops 🧜♀️
& a Mermaid Happy Hour 🍹
April 20, 2020
Updated: Even though our New York City Mayor canceled all June events, which includes my beloved Coney Island’s Mermaid Parade, I am a very productive mermaid crafter nonetheless. Because I will march… somewhere, I will march. Maybe in Greenport?
With my Etsy Shop up and running and my Mermaid Instagram getting a bit more seasonal activity, I am using the time at home to bang out some pretty mermaid tops. My goal is to use enough of the tonssss of shells from my Florida trip last summer… to justify more shelling this summer.
My first two tops I am really proud of! I even entered this one here in a sea-inspired craft contest. 🙂
I went all out with this one.
My second one was a bit more basic. It is still very shell-filled, but I am leaving the lace band and straps as they are.
I picked up so many of these tiny gorgeous purple scallops. It is nice to think that each bend and grab contributed to the collective look of this traditional mermaid top.
This top is now up on Etsy after being published in a magazine last year!
To commence the official Mermaid season, a mermaid happy hour with my best mermaid.
We decided we’d have our own Mermaid Parade. And go to Greenport‘s … And get ourselves to MerMagic Con as vendors in 2021.
But for now, more crafting. Next, a Mermaid Dress!
