a bit anxious about posting this, but i wanted to show off my meeshell mermaid custom that i just finished!

i loved her design in the show, and was really dissapointed when the actual doll looked nothing like her, so i made my own !!

i also think mattel had a missed opportunity in giving meeshell a wheelchair instead of just having her magically able to walk on land even though she hadn't gone through her story yet!

more info about what i used/more rambling under the cut!

-i was not a big fan of the later ever after high face molds, so i used a legacy day ashlynn ella as a base! she had really similar eye makeup to meeshell, so it worked out great :)

-her face repaint just includes the stars around her eyes with glitter, purple eyebrows and a slightly bigger lip in that same color.

-i made her earrings and hair piece with floral wire and beads i got at michaels and a shell i had lying around.

-her hair is rerooted with a mix of 10mm curly blossom, ballet pink, and pink & silver tinsel from The Doll Planet Hair on etsy! i brushed it out a bit and cut it to length.

-her outfit is from the original meeshell doll with the top repainted with acrylic mixed with fabric medium. and for the little details painted on the plastic parts of her outfit, i used acrylic and some glitter paint.

-i made the mermaid fin using this no sew tutorial by TheDollBoy on youtube.

-her wheelchair is a barbie wheelchair with a shell pattern felt sheet and starfish that i got from michaels glued to the inside of the wheels.

-her hands are actually an extra pair of g1 lagoona blue hands that i had lying around, painted to match her skin tone! i also used a glitter topcoat over her face and body.

-the stand in the bottom middle picture is from the deluxe little mermaid halle bailey doll !
