Project Name: Patty Gold – Custom Monster High
Project Link: Monster High Custom Leprechaun
Brief Description: This is my first custom Monster High doll. It took a really long time. I rerooted her hair a while ago, but I hand sewed her outfit, made the accessories, and did her face-up over the last month. It was a labor of love and so nerve-wracking. I have always wanted to make one, so I am super excited to have actually completed her. She is full of mistakes, but I am trying to ignore them and remember she is my first doll. Overall, I am happy.

It’s only end of month! We still have one more month before the season is over.

I love all of your collage work!

I thought we’d started in March, I guess :woman_facepalming:t2: :laughing:. Well, at least now I’m caught up…
