Altered Barbies

This is a picture of a Barbie my swap partner sent to me.  She knows I collect flying pigs and she turned her into one!!  I just laughed so hard when I opened the package - my whole family did!  How funny and creative!

This is the barbie I worked on.  I dyed her hair pink and she has curlers in her hair made from drinking straws.

Here she is completed.  I made her into a fairy.  She has sparkly skin, long eyelashes, beautiful pink hair, and of course she is carrying her bottle of fairy dust!

This is the other barbie I was working on at the same time.  I made her into a mermaid.  I also curled her hair because it was so much fun to put the curlers in!  She has glitter make-up and a tail made from that plaster stuff on strips.  I just taped her legs together tightly and then wrapped the plaster strips, sanded and painted.  I glued flowers to her chi-chis (I couldn't find shells in my stash).  She turned out really pretty and she was so much fun to make!!
