A little cute part of my big collection :D






I love the glitteriser and the lovely yoga Barbie in the middle of wealthy princesses.

Barbie Mulan Disney from the 90's




Barbie Rapunzel from the 90's

After some work fixing her hair and trying to figure out which Barbie she is and from when I found the great new that she is the Rapunzel from the 90's.
I finally got the original clothes of that barbie and she is ready for the world. Check it out!

This is how she looked like in her advertisement in ebay. I have to admit that I bought her without knowing which Barbie she was. But her make-up and her face features look amazing and I thought she was going to be very nice for my collection as well.

 This photos were taking in the process of fixing the hair, that was already pretty good but sadly cut. Her original hair was long until her feet.
I start looking at her in google with the her ebay photo as the searching tool but there was no way to figure it out. Looking at a photo of the original Rapunzel, comparing the make-up, body type, the little holes of her hair (originally from her crown) and the hole of her hand (originally from her ring) I knew it was her.



Thanks to a lovely seller in ebay I got the original clothes in a very good condition. It has been a lovely little adventure finding out her true identity.

New handmade dress for Barbie

Recently I have been working in the manufacturing of new designs for Barbie as it relaxes me and help me to control my stress. After some hours of work I got my first example and here I want it to be shown for you. I hope you like it!

I created a long dress with spring inspiration and a princess style. After the sewing I decorated it with some purple flowers as belt.

I added some "pearls" as earrings and I modified an old crown to make her look as a proper princess, but my favorite part was the results of the hairdressing. Check it out! I inspired myself in Star Wars style of Leila and Amidala.  




Hope you like it!

Anastasia (second part)

News for Anastasia!! To see the story of the doll and her first changes click Here:

I have taken her blue dress made from an old headband and I have glittered it in blue and silver color. I also have added glitter to the globs and I have rearranged her hair in order to make it look like a proper princess one! As the original shape of it is very weird I have used styling gel and hairspray to fix it in one place :) It is not good to use too much of that type of products in a doll's hair, as it can get unrecoverable in a long period, specially if we desire to change the look after some time. But in the case of Anastasia, as it is weirdly created and the original look was like that, I decided to risk a little bit.
New necklace imitating pearls and that is all! She looks stunning now. The only thing to add: the shoes, but they are in the way.

Check it out!












Hope you like it!

Barbie Esmeralda

This time I will show you Esmeralda. She is also from the 90's and as normally I bought her on ebay.
She was already clean and nice, only with a very messy hair that I fixed with water, shampoo, a conditioner and lot of brushing.
I put an arrow on her pendant, as the original was lost, taken from one of my old nose arrows and I did the same for her bracelet.

That is how she looked when I bought her:



That is how she looks now :D <3








I created the crown with one my rings, just dissimulating it with the hair on the top and linking the ring to the head with a thin purple band.

I hope you like her!!

Little Mermaid 1997

That is without a doubt my favorite barbie ever. I love the happiness of her face and her long red hair. I had it when I was a kid but after lot of years I lost it. Once I was living already in England, as it is very easy to find vintage barbies on ebay, I went for her.
It is a pity that she did not have her original clothes so for a long time she has been with other doll's mermaid clothes (one of those fake cheap barbies). The other day I decided to create a provisional dress inspired in mermaids while I design her future unique mermaid tale. Wanna have a look?









I will show you soon her new mermaid outfit!
