An Extreme Transformation:

These two would have been fodder for the land fill for sure, were it not for lots of time and patient work. Scraping away the evidence of some rough play in their pasts revealed a clean slate, with just a little personality within the changed faces.

A bit of fresh paint, some new clothes, customized shoes… a few Barbie accessories that suited them perfectly… and these two had a brand new life!

These two were a hot mess!

Before:

A softer, more natural look with human proportions. Now they look more like real people.

After:

The Process:

These stains took more than cleaning… “plastic surgery” with my Dremel Micro (*my favorite tool) was required. I also used the tool to reshape their shoes.

In the end they reminded me of real little girls I knew and hopefully one day soon they will find themselves having adventures with a new friend.
