Offer: One-of-a-kind altered fashion doll
Item Name & Description: One-of-a-kind altered fashion doll incorporating pages from a vintage book.
I'll use a basic fashion doll (most likely a Barbie, though I have a few Bratz on hand as well) to create a one-of-a-kind art piece for you, incorporating pages from a vintage book - probably a copy of Podkayne of Mars (is it subversion? Is it homage? Is it an uneasy mixture of the two? You decide!), though I have a few other titles available if the winner prefers - and appropriate accessories. The winning bidder will have options to choose from in the base doll that include gender, skin tone, hairstyle, and eye color, and I'll put my creativity to work from there.

Other examples of the kind of work I do can be found at my Etsy shop.
Starting Bid: $10
Notes: The doll will be in the mail within two-three weeks of the winning bidder choosing the preferred base doll, etc. I'll ship at my expense to bidders in the USA; those in other countries should not bid unless they are willing to help cover some shipping costs (realistically, I can spend no more than about $10 on shipping).
