Mood: Sweating
Listening to: The table-fan
Wearing: tshirt
This time around will be a fairly short one, cus I can't WAIT to show her to the world; my sweet sweet horseshoecrab girl :'-)



Let's get into it!



I am BACK using a LOL Surprise TWEENS body - I was originally gonna go with a Bratz Kidz-base, but their shoulders were too narrow to look proportionate with the big horseshoecrab shell. As you can see, the top of her head had to go... RIP Cherry BB-doll. Her skintone is similar to the colour of the vinyl that the horseshoecrab-figure is made of, which is why I chose it.



Time to cut up the above-mentioned creature!! I love horseshoecrabs... this somehow felt more heartwrenching than cutting up the doll, lol...



The final step was cutting the shell of the horseshoecrab into two, allowing for the joint to bend - this kinda gives the illusion of a ponytail. I covered the wire-connection with hotglue and painted it, Then I attached the shell to what was left of the doll-chin, (with milluput epoxy-clay that I also painted) allowing the finished product to twist its head!

I dressed her in various doll-clothes I had laying around, customizing each piece for a cutesy-look. I'm normally not really into pink and frilly, but ohmygosh she looks so cute in it!!! I also made her a lil Pinkie Pie-themed bag, using tiny stickers as "merchandise".





I was inspired to make her after visiting an aquarium where I got to see this favourite animal of mine IN REAL LIFE!! depicted below is the amazing little guy, + my head getting in the frame cus I was so excited lol


I love them, and I love her so much!!
