While waiting for my custom Zombie Elsa to arrive, I got a few Monster High dolls for free off a local upcycle page. They were from a day home, so in pretty rough shape!
I thought they would be good dolls for practicing repainting and the like. Plus, Ghoulia. I can't get enough of Ghoulia, she's my favorite!
I haven't cleaned them all up, yet. I started with this Spectra:
 |
| Poor Spectra. |
 |
| All Clean. |
The first attempt at making hands (with polymer clay), I made the hands and forearms separately, and glued them together after baking. I also tried making molds for the hands, but it didn't work out quite as I thought (I know now silicone is better for that).
 |
| First attempt. Hands kind of clunky and uneven. |
 |
| Second attempt. I molded the hands right on to the forearms this time. I watched a YouTube video for hand making and tried that method. Worked out better, but still need some practice! |
 |
| The arms on Spectra. I have not glued them on yet. Contemplating trying again. |
 |
Fingers still a bit clunky looking, but better than the first try!

Thanks for stopping by!
