I am 20 years old
How long have you been customizing?
I've only been customizing dolls for just over a year now

The youtuber Toxictears loves monster high, and she's my fave youtuber so, my goal is to make a doll of her to give to her
What types of customs do you do?
I do monster high and ever after high customs

Drawing wise, I use standard paper and .5 lead pencil, but for dolls I use MSC, formerly krylon matte finish, Derwent Inktense Pencils, faber castell Soft pastels, and Pearl ex powders.
Are there any products you just can’t live without?
My Derwent pencils, I need the intense payoff with little MSC, that stuff is EXPENSIVE
What is your most favorite custom that you have made?
My favorite customs so far are Airen, my modded Twyla, Cyran, my Hunter Huntsman custom, and Baby, my Lizzie hearts custom!
What is your least favorite custom that you have made?
But least favorite? Im not sure, If I dont like a doll, I will rewipe it until Im happy with it
A lot of beginners get so frustrated when their customs don't come out the way they want them to, and often compare themselves to their favorite artists and give up. Can you show us your very first custom?
My first custom was a Scaris Rochelle doll that I got for about $10, it took me 3 attempts to get how I wanted, but even now I look back and wonder "how did that get sold?"
What is your most recent custom?
My most recent custom is a 28" Maddie Hatter doll, that I did to practice with acrylics!
What is the worst injury you’ve had from working on customs?
I cut a good part of my finger off while chopping a 17" frankies head open, lol
Who/What inspires you?
So many people and things, but the people who inspired me start were ToxicTears, a goth beauty, and lifestyle vlogger and gamer, and Dollightful ♡
What projects are you currently working on?
I have a "halloween" Cleo custom in the works, a doll for a friend of mine, and another member of Annaboos Squad in the making currently
Do you have any odd habits while working on customs?
I zone in, to an annoying extent lol
What types of art do you enjoy?
All types, I grew up seeing Life as art, not just its imatation
Do you take commissions?
Yes! And all spots are currently open~☆♡
Where can people see your work and contact you?
Do you have any favorite tips or tricks?
Layer the sparkle, just do it
Any advice for people just starting out?
Remember to get MATTE sealant, Krylon Matte finish is nice and cheap at walmart for starting out, but you must spray it about a foot from the doll and not in long bursts.
