Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store.	Here is a back view of the doll as she originally looked.	Here is the doll after her makeover.
I dubbed this doll "The Bumblebee Fairy" for obvious reasons.
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.
