While this page is not completely ready yet, I did want to share a few photos.

The first doll was a vintage Barbie bubblecut.  Her hair had been cut & her lip & eyebrow paint was almost completely gone.

She has been rerooted as a ponytail & her brows & lips have been repainted.

These next 2 dolls were nearly bald.  Their hair was completely removed & rerooted to make them look like their original selves again. The hair on Midge was still wet when the pictures were taken.  There is a rubber band around her neck holding her flip curl in place until dry.

This was a 14" Ideal Thumbelina doll.  You can see more about her on my Reborn page. She was nearly bald & very faded. Since her coloring had to be perked up & her lip paint redone, I removed her eye paint & redid them in Kelly Green while I was at it. I call her my baby Kelly Osbourne.
