Upcycling/Freecycling!

Here are some of the ladies I gave makeovers to, to pass along to other children :)

Barbie, a Tong doll, and Maxie (I cut the frizzled ends off her hair)

 The Tong doll's hair is a serious mess...but I wasn't going to spend the time on rerooting a doll that's being given away (the fundamentals of freecycle are you get for free...you give for free).

Skipper (in a Lady Lovelylocks dress; it actually fit her quite nicely.  I treated the fraying ends of the inner skirt with Fray Stop) and 2 Barbies (one is a Pretty in Pink outfit; I couldn't identify the other)

The ones I am keeping are a Barbie Beat Midge, a Skipper, an Earring Magic Barbie, a Costume ball Barbie (without the dress, but I just loved her face), and a Lights and Lace dress.

I can't get this photo to NOT post sideways...grrrr...

I'm also keeping the one that needs the face up, as a project doll.

Thanks for looking!

My First Repaint

I told myself that I shouldn't buy any more dolls until I finish one of my many half done projects, and sell them (my intent for the projects).  Yesterday I finally finished my first upcycled Bratz doll, with face repaint and hand made outfit.

Here is the before and after photo of the doll face (in different lighting):

And now with the outfit:

Thankfully she came with her original feet (from the thrift store), so I didn't have to try making any!

I don't have an Etsy shop *yet*, so I'm going to try and sell her locally first.

Thanks for looking!
