MERMAID--MIRACLE FROM HEAVEN

My friend Allison went and watched the movie “Miracle from Heaven” in theaters.  She fell in love with a mermaid doll that the little girl in the movie had.  She asked if I could make one similar by using a printed picture of the mermaid.  This is my attempt at making that mermaid.  The hair on the mermaid is fringed pieces of various shapes of green randomly attached.
