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!! - xoxo Benni ![]() |
