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.
