SEA GLIDER A bead embellished Mermaid

Sea Glider was the first is a series of mermaid figures
designed to be "in motion".
She was created after many patterns were developed in muslin fabric.
(see an earlier post)
Her hair is composed of individually quilted sections
which echo the shape of the tail.
The beads that embellish her body were collected from bead stores in at least six different states including Maine, North Carolina and Minnesota.
