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 first makeover.
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.
