"Oh, Giselle! We shall be married in the morning!"
I'm really, REALLY happy with how she turned out, it has been a while since I worked on Disney princesses, and I was a bit worried I had lost my touch but I think she's good to go! Let me know what you think! 🌸
I think Mirabel is the closest I’ve gotten to a Disney character that looks like me (except for the fact that I’m milk bottle white, but still, it’s something!)
10 years! It's been 10 years! And Meg has started it all! :3
And in fact, the Meg on the left was repainted almost exactly 10 years ago! It was one late June or early July day that I looked at my Mattel Meg and just didn't see "Meg" in her. Which is why I did some research and found a pic by @lulemee of a different Meg doll - at first I thought it was another factory doll until I realized that she was in fact handpainted! And I loved it! So, having some acrylic paints and brushes myself I thought I'd give it a try. Well... I told the story several times and I think by now you might be able to see yourself what might've gone wrong with 2013-Meg :D
I did try to repaint another Mattel Meg a couple of times...some more or less finished, others I left as a work in endless progress. I just didn't like the Mattel head very much. I also tried to make a Meg out of other doll heads twice, with parts resculpted..but I never really finished anything until finally the disney store released several Meg dolls! I'll show you all of these so far unreleased but unfinished Megs soon, so stay tuned :3
So, after all these years, I finally dared to take on another Mattel head! And tbh with you, I did struggle a bit and restarted several times. I don't know what it is with this head, it's just cursed xD But I do actually like how Meg turned out in the end and I hope you like her too :)

I don't know if there are still people out there but I wanted to share with you a personal project I made with my talented and amazing friend @bulleinthebubble ❤️
Since we are both doll collectors, she asked me if we could make a look alike 17" Astrid Limited Edition Doll and one year later here she is!
So here’s a little teaser of the doll! More details to come soon… enjoy! ❤️

New Tinkerbell doll, she is gorgeous. Currently having to keep her at my nans for now and the lighting isn't the best, so the photos don't do her justice. Next to the designer Tinkerbell for size comparison.
