This doll was a custom project – the doll had suffered a horrific haircut at the hands of a budding young hairdresser, so I re-rooted her and created the outfit and box. I had been to New York a few times at this point and so Sindy became a trendy, streetstyle, skater girl! I gave her a bit of an ’80’s vibe ( my favourite era!) and I added accessories and made a spare sweatshirt. The ‘I love NY’ tee shirt was actually made from a babygrow that I bought especially as the logo was in small scale. It had the logo printed all over it and I managed to cut it in such a way so I got a tee shirt front! The skateboard was an old keyring that I customised and the Statue of Liberty souvenir was on the end of a pencil I bought at JFK Airport! The burger is an eraser and the flags are 4th July sandwich cocktail sticks! I love how she turned out!
