I went a little punchy crazy with the rerooting tool (which is awesome by the way) so Klatti's hair is crazy thick now! Looks like a little teal hair helmet. But hey she is an Alien so thats ok... LOL! I did manage to thin it out a bit by the time her face was done... now to make her some proper Mod Alien Girl clothing!

First Restyling - Char Katze

She started out as a "Dawn of the Dance" Clawdeen Doll, another victim of helmet hair. Something just had to be done! The one thing about the Clawdeen doll that has bugged me from the beginning is she is supposed to be a Werewolf... but her clothing and accessories seem more "cat-like". So I made this one into a Cat Girl.
She has been repainted and this was my first attempt at a "Boil Perm". I used pipe cleaners as curlers. Think it turned out pretty cute!

First Repaint... Dracleo
Yes that name is sooo lame... but this is my first go at repainting a Monster High doll. Over 10 years ago I used to customize Gene Dolls but its been a long time! Monster High is considerably smaller than Gene was... but I think the heads might be fairly close to the same size. MH Dolls have big ole' heads!
So this gal started out as a "Dawn of the Dance" Cleo. She had SERIOUS helmet hair... no I'm not joking. I think they used about 40 oz. of hair gel on her at the factory and it was hard as a rock. So she got a shampoo and a new face. I also cut the hair... it still needs to be a bit shorter. I want a 20's Flapper look to her.
The painting is ok, a little wobbly but I just need to get used to drawing/painting without a computer... *shudder*. Its also a little thick... I don't know how people paint on dolls & vinyl toys and get it to look so smooth!! But I got some paint "retardant" which is supposed to slow the drying time of acrylics so it doesn't get to heavy. We'll see if that helps on my next try.
