Factory face paint on the dolls is removed and new features are added with acrylic paints. Hairstyles can be completely rerooted or just layered and cut. These are my mini models!

Then the bigger dollies....
These three above are from private commission work. All were characters from stories the collector had written. Gene Marshall and Tyler Wentworth dolls became my favorites to repaint. The Tonner doll company was coming out with contemporary and diverse face sculpts that were so much fun to transform. Rerooting these big girls was much more difficult. Sydney was also a favorite from the Tonner line. She could look incredibly cold or sensually warm with the right paint job. The doll below named Linda was my very first Gene repaint. She sold on ebay and is named after my sister. I gave her extra smoky eyes and fell in love with Gene dolls from then on....
I am an artist, marine biologist, organic vegan cook, and an amateur photographer. I sell on eBay under the name "merrula88". This blog will showcase my past and future repaints. I believe the best place to be in the whole world is somewhere outdoors in nature. I am so lucky to live in the forest surrounded by huge redwoods and close to a creek bursting with creatures. This is my first blog.
