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 Bratz doll was mentioned and I felt it was time to change this…
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.)
