The Camoflague Fairy

This doll originally started off as a Ken doll that I purchased new mainly because I've recently purchased a Soul Doll Kimmy and I needed some clothes that would fit him. So I took this doll's outfit for the other doll and converted this doll into a male fairy doll.

Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought him from the toy store. He was originally a Ken doll dressed as a fairy tale prince.

Here is the doll after his first makeover. I gave his original outfit to my Soul Doll Kimmy but I left the boots on this doll because Kimmy's feet are smaller in size than Ken's. I actually found printed camoflague felt at a local Michael's Arts & Crafts, so I used it to make this doll's outfit.

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.

When this doll failed to sell, I gave him a second makeover where I removed his fairy ears.

The second time was the charm since I sold this doll.
