Plush Zebra Barbie, c. 2001 Work on doll completed circa
2001. Modified Zizi Zebra added 2009. She was originally a 1996 Little Debbie Barbie #2. I handmade her boots,
gave her rooted lashes, more bangs, shortened her hair, and gave her a groovy headband. Her outfit is a handmade copy of the
1969 MOD Barbie fashion "Plush Pony". This is red with zebra print fur instead of orange with cow print fur.
This doll has handmade boots in place of the vinyl ones that the original fashion calls for. A replica chain belt was
made by scrapping a necklace. Zizi Zebra's long locks were trimmed in favor of realism, pink hair bow replaced
with a red one, and redder replacement necklace from 2008 My Size ballerina Barbie. This is one of the top five favorite dolls
in my personal collection.

O991: Hasbro's Sabrina
Spellman and Harvey Kinkle from the TV show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" starring Melissa Joan Hart and featuring
an animatronic talking black cat. Work circa 1999, altered dolls. Sabrina's
hair has been cut a couple of times, her outfit has been reworked a little bit, but all of her components are still in the
box. She wear's Harvey's gift to her from his box, the corsage. Both dolls have had face paint work to
make them look more like the original dolls. Otherwise excellent to near mint condition in boxes. The boxes are rather
tattered, as to open them requires near destruction. I had these as a set for sale, but I think they may have
been in the set that I had to pawn.

"Midnight Flapper Barbie," circa 1999.
Collection of the artist. I
made a sweet flapper outfit in 1997 complete with knee length fringe (hard to tell in odd angled photo here) and velvet cloche
hat with "diamond" accent. The doll was added to the ensemble later, as she used to be a 1999 Ballerina Dreams Barbie.
Shoes are from a Barbie Collector Membership BMR Fashion from 1998. I "made" all of her jewelry. She
wears the "Mayfair Emerald" that I made for an abandoned endeavor. This is included in edited dolls because
the doll retains her original face paint, although her hair has been cut. 1997 Cruella deVil Power in Pinstripes furs
added in 2008.

Signature Style Ariel, Circa 2001. Altered doll, 1997 Princess Mermaid Ariel in handmade version of the pink castle dress from the movie
The Little Mermaid. The dress is made to be similar to the Signature Series Collection. Plastic fork replaced
with a real fork pin. This was an early piece, so the hair has been sew into place after reworking instead of gelled
and boiled.

future.
