Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store. If you look close enough at her face, you would see that the paint was completely faded from her mouth.	Here is a back view of the doll as she originally looked.	Here is the doll after her first makeover. I re-painted her mouth and added an accent around her waist and trim at the bottom of the dress. I also undid her ponytail (which was a bit messy) in order to let her hair fall down her back.
Fairy ears were made out of air-drying clay before being attached to the doll's head.	The ears were painted in flesh color once the clay dried.	After displaying her in a few craft shows, this doll failed to sell. I decided to remove the fairy ears from her head in order to make her look more attractive to potential buyers.
