MH day 8: yet more hair
A boring process once again! On the top of Drac's head, I drill holes for ponytails I'm doing thin ponytails (think Misa) and just wrapped black weft and some pink and purple around a bit of wire. Putting these aside for now I kept covering the head as usual, keeping the holes clear I sli...
MH day 7: hairmageddon
Doing the usual yarn weft method with hot glue, I made and attached white hair on Frankie up until their skull cap piece. I decided to cut it at the end, so it's long now but we'll trim it later Next was the black, but with some streaks. I didn't have a blue yarn I liked, so I blended ...
MH day 6: painting wrap up
Immediately picking up where we left off, I lace up Frankie's shoes I also sketch on Draculauras hairline, painting it in black And did some painting on Draculauras heels I use red watercolor paint to give some dimension to Drac's eyes, yellow for Frankie's, and go in with pencils to g...
MH day 5: tiny update
Sadly didn't get too much done this time around! I finished getting the base skin tones on Frankie's face and hands I use some chrome powder and a finger to give their boots a steel toe look. I popped out the nails for the time being And painted the lightening bolts bright colors After pain...
MH day 4: SHOES!
Sometimes the way I go about shoes is.... Unconventional. For both of these dolls, I'm actually carving them out of a block of sculpey. I cut out the silhouette shape twice and get to carving. Carve, carve, carve, then smooth it out normally, with tools and fingers. Since it's solid clay,...
MH part 3: busy work
I did a ton of random bullshit yesterday. Let's look I grabbed the hands, sanded them down where they needed it, and added things like knuckles and some palm meat. I add knuckles even when they're not anatomically correct for the pose, cuz I think it looks cool :) Apoxie sculpt ears! I p...
MH part 2: struggle of hands
Started off with a palm shape and fingers, cutting them down to size, attaching, and posing I add wrists by rolling out a short snake and pinching the end to make a raggedy "cup" shape, then attaching and smoothin I add sheets to look like cuff bracelets, then carve into the hands to lo...

Clothing a skunk!
Right off the bat, I’m sewing a shirt directly onto the body. It’s one solid piece sewn up the back and shouldersTo embellish the shirt, I glue on a bit of ribbon, a collar, a small bow i made, and tiny white buttons. I also added sleeves but forgot to photograph that part, they’re more or les...
Making of a opossum's outfit!
Cut out some pants pieces and hit them with frey check I sewed together the pants, and used a xacto knife to distress Cut out some bits for the shirt, including a logo from a Pink Floyd patterned fabric. I glued it on, sewed it all together, and distressed. I also bunched it together with a...
How I make hands!
Just want to share my process, this is by no means a tutorial, but it might help you out! I start off with two equal sized palms, then roll out snakes with a rounded end as fingers. They're all equal thickness, except the thumbs which are thicker. They're all longer than they need to be! I ...

behind the scenes: Cleo DeNile repaint progress
Here's process images from my Cleo repaint! I don't plan on posting her publicly until I finish her hair, so you get an advanced look! This was done with the usual doll repaint method- soft pastels, watercolor pencils, and acrylic paint layered with coats of flat Mr Super Clear sealer
