My Own Creation

I recently bought a lot of older Barbies. In this lot was this lovely girl, I believe she is a Christie Barbie.


Her hair was horrid. It had been butchered and what was left was just a mess. Her foot had been chewed on and the plastic was peeling.


Some time ago, I bought 2 Princess Tiana dolls from the Disney Store. They were on sale, so I bought an extra one. It turns out that the body matches Christie's skin tone. I removed the hair from the Christie head, which I will re-root myself.


I put Christie's head on Tiana's body, and I am very happy with the results. I look forward to doing her hair.


I've recently put 2 other 1980's Barbie heads on newer Fashionista Barbie bodies. I love the outcome.



I'll keep you updated with my progress with the hair rerooting!
