Merlion illustration and amigurumi


Have you guys ever heard of a merlion? Its a mythical creature that is half fish and half lion, and it's the national mascot and beloved symbol of Singapore! Here's my kawaii version of a merlion; I liked it so much I decided to make an amigurumi merlion.


Just a reminder if you haven't already (and a big thank you to everyone who has already voted)... please vote for my "nautical merpeople" fabric in Spoonflower's fabric contest, which ends June 30! Click here to vote! Thanks people •ᴥ•

  4. Hi, I'm from Singapore & am very happy that someone from so far away in Hawaii talks about something from my country. Your version of the Merlion is the cutest one I've ever seen! ^.^
    Thank you!
