You know those Wizard of Oz dolls they came out with in the happy meals at McDonalds, recently? Yeah, well... I tortured one of 'em! Haha. No really. I busted out my wire and tools, a pair of pliers, glue, paint, sharpies, a length of fancy ribbon, miniature paper roses, sewing supplies, paper clay, and beads... And I turned Dorothy into Ozma!:




The big blue plastic bow on top of her head came off with surprising ease. But then she had a hole in her head... so she got both the OZ circlet and the crown. :)



I don't know for sure if Ozma was ever in possession of the ruby slippers, but my Ozma is:

And she has a lovely brocade-esque finish to her dress, too. ^.^

I made her as a birthday present for my friend Dennis. Its a blurry pic, but here she is with some of the other dolls he collected from the series:


It is SO MUCH FUN doing that kind of thing!! If anybody's got questions on how to alter those dolls in particular (or at least, how I did it!), please ask away! :)

And now, some jewelry!:

This here funky thing, I call "Eva's Garden":


Big ol' funky gold beads:


And a big ol' funky clasp:


"Seaside Daydream":


Nameless! Haha...:


The pewter feather pendant was made at Green Girl Studios - My friend Andrew's sister makes these lovely things. Most of her pendant pieces have a message or quote engraved in them. Here's the back side of the feather:


And finally, a pic taken on a SUNNY day! lol... This is a bracelet for one of the girls who won an art contest I recently held on deviantART:
