Say “Hello” to Our Giveaway Mermaid Doll
Here is our mermaid with her crown of pearls and a seashell lyre. When she plays music on her seashell lyre, her pet seahorse gets so excited, he does a loop-de-loop! You can win her here on this page. She will make a wonderful holiday gift this season!
… and here is what she looks like from the back:
Crafted with Love
The mermaid measures about 8.5 inches/21.25cm from head to tail. She is crafted with love from the choicest materials. Click here to read more about her and the crafting process. This unique mermaid will delight children and adults alike!
You get just 1 mermaid, with her seashell lute. That’s all, no: ocean water, seahorse, vintage beaded fabric or purple sequin except what’s on her tail! Enter the Rafflecopter Giveaway below and may the best of luck be with you!

What talent and love went into the making of this doll. My girl is mesmerised by mermaids. I have been decorating her room with such nicitys as your doll. Its difficult to find fine art of mermaids that isn’t little mermaid or geared towards men and bars. I would love to gift her with such a doll.
Elsie B.
I’ve adopted a little fish,
Handsome and very cute,
He swims in a delightful tank,
But needs something new…
This mermaid doll would be a joy,
Company for my little fish
He could see her sparkling from his tank,
What a surprise, I’ll make a wish!
And wait until my little nieces,
See the little doll and the fish,
I believe in the magic of Christmas…
The mermaid will give her tail a swish!
Please consider our enchanting house
As a home for your Mermaid doll,
To give her a place to stay for awhile,
With a little fish to make her smile!

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved The Little Mermaid. There was something about her wanting to explore and feeling trapped, that I could really relate to. It would be nice to have this wonderful doll on display at home in order to be reminded about what characteristics I really admire: bravery, independence and a strong will to go get what you want and where you want to be.

My girls love mermaids and the ocean and that is why I want to win the doll.

Jamie Abenroth
I feel very connected to the sea – I grew up finding shells, swimming in the seaweed of the frigid Puget Sound, holding tiny crabs in my hands. I know what it is to smell salt water, to feel it deep in my bones – to look over an expanse of water and feel absolutely taken. I have four little children; four children who live in their imaginations, who soak up stories and have creativity pulsing through their entire bodies. They live in the mystery and magic of life. A mermaid speaks to all of these things – the depth of the sea, the dream-like imagination of a child, the mystery and beauty of our own minds. She would be treasured, played with – a momento of beauty, a thing that perhaps someday would become “real.” Thank you for offering this work of art – as an artist I know what it is to offer something like this – a part of yourself.
jzinius
Dear Jamie,
Thank you so much for writing me. I enjoy reading your note and can relate to what you write. Reading your note, I can recall the salty seawater in my ears and back of my throat as a child whenever I was a step late in getting up from the ocean waves…yes, I love the sea. I spent my childhood weekends on a tiny tropical island of Pulau Pinang, so Puget Sound is very compelling yet exotic to me! Blessings + Love, Jzin
