so i made this one upcycled doll for lanikins in a day of the dead swap a while back...  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=381686.msg4516990#msg4516990 and i enjoyed it so much and was so pleased with the result that i decided i needed to do a few more. here is one of them... i call her "Bea"



here she is before i got my hands on her...  Wink


then i stripped her and started painting...




started putting a dress on her...


aaaaand finished!!!






hope y'all like her! comments and criticisms welcome! will be posting more over the next couple days....

Stunning! I love the colors you chose, and the dress is fab. My favorite parts are the ribcage and the head wrap. YOU ROCK!

Absolutely beautiful! That's such an amazing idea, I wish I had more detail abilities. That is seriously such an improvement over the way she started.  Cheesy
