Altered Barbie

In this swap, you will alter a Barbie, or similar type doll (dollar store, Bratz, Ken, etc), in to some other form of an art doll. You can use the whole Barbie or just certain parts from it, for example...just from the waist above to combine with a horse to make a centaur.

Here are some examples:

There are soooo many options and styles for you to create your Barbie, so have fun. From my own experiences, I can say, priming your barbie before painting is key and makes for a longer lasting art doll. Also, please leave enough time when making your doll for it to dry before mailing ;0 If anybody else has tips or resources, please leave them in the comments.
