What fun! Check out my Monster High Dolls…

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…
