🙏 Thank you so much! Teals and Purples have such a nostalgic feel to me, I figure Mermen ought to have something flashy to wear as well✨

🪸Meet the newest addition to my Merman Fantasy Kens🔱 This little guy was a pain to get done, but he turned out better than I’d planned. Hoping there’s more official #Ken mermen in #Barbie ‘s future. There could never be too many #mermaiddolls if you ask me✨ #dollsky #mermaids #ooakdoll #mermandoll

✨Gonna have to find a better spot for this little dude, but for now he looks pretty good next to Harper and the other Pacifica mer-girlies🪸 #dollsky #mermaids #barbie #ken #atouchofmagic #customdoll #ooakdoll #dollcollector

2: My sister was gifted an MC Hammer doll when we were little, and I was so jealous! She ended up just giving him to me when one of his legs broke off, but I still loved him! I put him in share a smile Becky's wheelchair and kept him as my dolls boyfriend.

✨Got the rest of the #PopTails #Dolls 🫧 They’re super fun to switch up, and the concept reminds me a lot of Betty Spaghetti and the rubber Polly pocket clothes from the early 00’s 🥰 Really hope they’ll make more characters though. Fernie needs one too🪸

🪸Meet my latest #customdoll, Merman Fantasy Ken 🔱 I love this face sculpt so much, and was holding onto his reroot until I found the right tail. There wasn’t a #Ken in this year’s wave of #Barbie #mermaiddolls so I thought what better reason than to make my own?✨

it's important for anyone, but especially artists to be very vocal, loud, and proud about their stances on human rights/politics. Our work reaches communities, what we create, share & show makes a difference. Art cannot be separated from humanity. Keep making things that showcase the world you want

✨ #Barbie isles look a lot different than they did when I was growing up. It’s kind of a bummer. I repainted these #Ariel and Sisters #dolls to look more like the #MermaidBarbie that I remember, and revisit the #BlackBarbie characters we don’t see as often now days🪸

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

Most of my dolls are fairly simple looking and usually on plain backgrounds, so I used to get questioned about whether or not some of them were real, or just edits. They’re very real, and very loved🪸✨
