This is a doll I made for a Swap on the Our Pink Universe Board.
This was only the second swap I
had participated in.
The first swap I did was only switching her clothes and adding a few
embellishments.
So this was really the first time I had done a full custom for anyone.
She turned out better than I expected and my swap partner
Melanie Reeves said she liked her.
Here is what I started with
The volunteer is a Thrift Store doll who was looking
for a new home.
She has already been cleaned and her hair washed and brushed.
The top, stockings and shoes came from mixed sets.
I think the stockings came from an ice-skater figure.
supplies
After some brain-storming and a few trips to the craft
store this
is what I gathered to start the project.
-
Clear nylon thread
-
Silver Ribbon
-
Blue Fringe - Just happened to match the top perfectly.
-
Some silver beads and some blue beads
-
and a package of little rose beads.
Here are a few before photos
Here she is all Done
Though I didn't have a specific look in mind when I
started...
The finished doll kinda reminds me of Tina Turner.
The picture in the frame is a Before shot so that her new owner could see it.
Teeth filled in for fuller lips and painted vibrant
red, eye color change to blue
from green, eye shadow from yellow to silver, eyebrows and lashes
re-done.
