This weekend I came up with a design for the Lagoona Blue doll from Monster High.
First I created a fishtail mask. Hand painted etc.
Then I went on to make the sea skirt with hand painted fish bone + seaweed and fish bone top.
The hand painted fish wings give it that extra special effect.
As these costumes are very time-consuming I am just starting with selling the masks on Ebay to see what…

I have to admit I adore Egyptian history and have always been drawn to Cleopatra through her beauty and sheer confident presence.
The above Dracula bat dress, bat wings, bat mask and cobweb hat was something I made recently for my little girl’s dolly who is called Draculaura (Monster High Doll.)
