Nautica is an elusive pastel seahorse. She is very mysterious and beautiful, though she doesn't talk much. She's always in the water and flees from those who get too close. She has 16 horns on her head and back, a poseable curled tail, and seahorse inspired markings. I used "Milk white" Nylon hair from @customdollhairau for this doll. After using Apoxie Sculpt and acrylic paint for the horns, I glued the wefts. The tail is made of wire, yarn stuffing, and fabric I painted myself. The tail is blended into the body with glue and more Apoxie. The face-up is entirely acrylic paint except for the factory paint lips which I left on. She also has 3D lashes and Monster High Doll Operetta's forearms and hands.

Mocha is a Brazilian iced coffee doll I made for the cheers doll collab 2020 by @thebetastage on Instagram. I really like iced coffee and I feel like she resembles it well. I used a Clawdeen Wolf Monster High doll. The hair is unraveled yarn with beads. The face-up was done with MSC, watercolor pencils, acrylic paint, pastels, and gloss mod podge. I also modified @dollightfully's standard dress pattern to make a 3 layered sweetheart dress. I dyed the lighter brown cotton with water and fabric markers.

A Halloween doll inspired by the day of the dead, this skeleton horse captivates people with her beauty and evokes fear in those that see her. Her horse-like stature and emaciated bones leave them scared and confused. By the time they look back she is gone, fleeting in the night. She is like a hallucination. Maybe it was paranoia, or a tree branch. Maybe people are just seeing things. Regardless, this creature is only ever spotted in forests at night, and her name is unknown. This doll was sanded, sculpted with apoxie and painted with gesso and acrylic paint. There are painted flowers on her body and she wears a sewn off-the-shoulder black top. A mesh cape also drapes her body. Her face is repainted with watercolor pencils, pastels, and acrylics. Her hair is made of black yarn.
