So Nimhe may look like a cloud of sugar candy &, indeed, her disposition is just as sweet as can be.  She likes nothing better than to watch puppies gambol in the surf, or invent stories about the characters she spots in the scudding clouds. Unfortunately she finds herself surrounded by a billowing skirt of venomous fronds which will disable even the greatest of whales (fortunately for us, the toxins are activated by water, so she is currently quite safe to handle)

28" (34cm) from crown of head to tip of tentacle, Nimhe is handsewn using vintage cotton & lace, tulle & silk ribbons.  She is adorned with recycled jewels & hand-dyed embroidery thread.
