    Holy smokes. You’re improvement is literally inspiring. I’ve been very obsessed with doll custom videos. It started with dollightful but now I follow so many customizers that inspire me more n more not just with doll customization. I use a lot of the things I learn in my art. This mermaid is so pretty I love her hair. The eyes lighting up. So good 😊 her colors. That tail. Ahh it all’s so amazing

    Thank you so much. I have albums cataloging each year's dolls and its helpful to be able to look back and see improvement. Especially during times of self doubt or just generally having a tough time on a doll.
