Honey Swamp Lux
Birthday January 28, 2024
She embodies the thick, misty mornings of the Bayou- waking blossoms, creeping moss, the chitterings of critters greeting the day. Mud and petals and magic.

The base of this art doll is a Monster High G1 Honey Swamp. Repainting of her face included watercolor pencils, acrylic paint, and chalk pastels (sealed in layers with MSC). I made her inset eyes from resin, paint, and gems, and gave her lashes as well. The vines on her body have been enhanced with a dark green iridescent acrylic paint, and I gave her some light body blushing with chalk pastels (again, all sealed with MSC). She has a removable yarn weft wig, styled in a short flip bob in black, teal, and purple.
Honey's intricate dress is hand sewn from assorted fabrics- cotton, chiffon, lace. I was deeply inspired by couture fashion designer Guo Pei in this case. Many small fabric flowers in purple and raspberry satin intermingle with bright green fabric leaves and the occasional gemstone beads on a blue cotton background. A poofy, layered hem of black chiffon loops around the bottom, curling upwards and around in the front. An additional bit fans out of the top layers. Velcro closure in the back.
Her shoes are a repaint of EAH Briar Rose, in flat black with shimmery purple flowers. Dangly earrings match the flowers on her shoes. She also has a little purple alligator purse, which does open and close.
