Clawdeen wolf custom doll

In many ways my customisation of dolls incorporates all my current art forms: illustration, costume and jewellery design and characterisation.

I grew up with a now discontinued line of dolls called "Monster High".  I reimagine and redesign the original characters but go further than just giving them a facelift or character update.  I sew new costumes, restyle their hair and paint entirely new faces on them.  Below you can see the original Clawdeen, above her new style including facial piercings for which I used gold wire. I used acrylic paints and clear gloss for her expression and make-up.

Clawdeen before cutomising.
