Decided to take the old shrimp on the Barbie term and make it... literal. And behold
we have another comedic parody monster creation! I do custom ponies, so needed to put shrimp.
On a Barbie. So I did pony body base with a generic Barbie doll head (I either got it from a
craft store or thrift store at some point) all I know is this doll head has been taking up
space in my doo-dad drawer for over a decade so it was just high time to come up with a use
for it.
Pony body base is a fakie mlp, head is a purchased doll head from a craft store. Coated the
body in white gesso, did full body repaint in peach acrylics, gave Barbie "nail polish" on
her hoof tips with off white and pearl white acrylics. All hotsell paint work sealed in Testors
spray sealant. Magenta bikini is wide ribbon with yellow bias tape hem, and orange bow
ribbon detail. The shrimps were probably the most laborful creation of this project and
they were cut from leather, hand stitched then got hemp cord wrapped around them with glue.
I then painted them in hand blended acrylics in a coral orange pink, sealed them in mod podge.
Cut purple scarf material and some fantasy film for their tails, glued them inside their bodies.
Largest shrimp on her back has googley eyes.
I ultimately slapped some shrimp on this Barbie! a few on her head, a couple on her tail then
a giant one on her back to be precise.
Oh and her tail is sugarberry nylon dollyhair.
