Vampire Art Doll ITH Design
$13.00
His eyes are a bit bloodshot, and his teeth are as sharp as his foppish wardrobe. The faux pants pockets and detailed coat stitching are all done in-the-hoop or your embroidery machine along with the dolls body, head, wig, and optional hands.
This art doll is designed for a wire armature and not intended for children. The instructions include color photos and video tutorials to make a complete doll that stands and poses.
