    Holy smokes. You’re improvement is literally inspiring. I’ve been very obsessed with doll custom videos. It started with dollightful but now I follow so many customizers that inspire me more n more not just with doll customization. I use a lot of the things I learn in my art. This mermaid is so pretty I love her hair. The eyes lighting up. So good 😊 her colors. That tail. Ahh it all’s so amazing

      Thank you so much. I have albums cataloging each year's dolls and its helpful to be able to look back and see improvement. Especially during times of self doubt or just generally having a tough time on a doll.

    You should try head shrinking....
    It will make the dolls more acurate on her body.

    She’s gorgeous!! I love the white/pastel tail and hair. It’s gives her an almost ethereal vibe. I also like her big booty, as a big booty girl I appreciate the representation lol.
    I’m trying to get into doll repaints myself, could you tell me what those tiny swab things you use are called? I’ve googled everything I can think of and I can’t seem to find out what they are! Thank you! 💗
