The Green Fairy

Technical Specs:

Type of Doll: Barbie that was purchased used from a thrift store.
Size: 29 cm/11.5 inches
Hair: Originally blonde but was dyed green using Liquidtex Emerald Green acrylic paint mixed with water.
Eyes: Blue
Lips: Pink
Outfit Description: Wears a dress that I designed using Tina Casey's book Fabulous Fashion Doll Clothing You Can Make. Fairy wings were made out of polymer clay (with details painted with acrylic paint) then glued on the outfit. An accent to the waist was made out of polymer clay then glued on the dress. 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.

Date I Finished Customizing This Doll: August 20, 2007
Sold: 2007 Crafty Bastards Festival, Washington, DC, September 30, 2007
