Ondine has been a work in progress for about a year and a half. I took her out from time to time and worked on her for a little while and put her back in the closet. Her body is constructed in layers with sculpting and fiberfill stuffing between layers of "skin". She came together only in the last month or so. The pattern is by Pam Grose. I could not do the face sculpting like Pam shows in the pattern so after three trials I gave up and made a mask for her face. The rest of the pattern is elaborate and had to be worked in stages but well worth the effort. I love the pattern and plan to make one more but in a smaller scale. Ondine is 26 inches wide and 15 inches high and I would like to make her friend about half her size.
When my daughter saw Ondine she begged me to use a couple of clams but I refused :-). Ondine has an equally impressive butt as you can see in last picture. The best part in making her was the beading. I had not worked with beads for quite some time so I was happy that I got a chance to take a whole lot of beads and crystals from my stash and work with them. I love the tail and the fins which I doused with glitter. The tail is poseable and so are the fins.
