Description:
Do you love Zombies? Do you wish there was a Zombie Barbie? Well, this is the swap for you!!! This is a creative challenge swap, the task is to find an old or new barbie doll or something similar in nature (no plastic $1 store barbies, they must have that rubbery based body) and turn it into a zombie!!! The possibilities are endless, you can paint/dye/singe/maim the body of the doll, dye/replace/remove it's hair, replace/remove/add parts, etc! Whatever you can come up with! As for clothes, this is completely up to the "artist" to decide how they want their zombie to be outfitted... or not!!! If you get a naked zombie barbie, this is acceptable... perhaps one with clothing would get you the extra <3 or an extra "zombie" accessories even! Please rate your partners fairly, as this is based on the artist I expect those who gave a trying effort to receive a 5 and PLEASE NO FLAKERS!!!!! I don't want to see ANYONE receive 1's! Please let me know if you have any concerns. I will accept newbies to doll "revamping" OOAK! (one of a kind!) as I am myself!! However, I will only accept swap newbies who have filled out their profiles and have been rated for at least 5 previous swaps. If you want some great ideas look up OOAK dolls on ebay or etsy :) I am sure there are probably people with some informative tips on various modifications. This is not open to international swap, Sorry! Gotta keep the postage low!!! You are welcome to open this overseas, please just contact me and let me know! I'll be sure to mention yours in this swap :) Did I miss anything? Questions? Concerns? Chat it up below or PM me :) BRAINS!!!!!! x0x0x0x Celestial UPDATES: Bratz dolls & Volks dolls (these I don't suggest since they are so expensive to get parts for) are acceptable "Barbie" substitutes. So are any of the "Hannah Montanah" or other celebrity based dolls! (How great would that be? Zombie Montanah!?) Also, Kens or Skippers are okay too! This is totally open to the artist to pick the canvas... simply as long as it's rubber based & not cheap hard plastic. OOAK VAMPIRES FOLLOWING THIS SWAP!!!!!!

I have some Barbies waiting for something to be done to them!

Was working on mine and the bitch broke my scissors! Hahaha. They make these dolls so strong any more. I remember 20odd years ago their arms, legs, and heads just popped right off! And i also stabbed myself workin on her. My partner better appreciate it hahahahha!

I bought a new tool that has a hot knife and have been having some fun!

I love this idea. I have been getting Barbie's for the dogs ever since Conan, our German Shepherd, got hold of my granddaughter's Barbie almost 12 years ago. Puppies just love them.....Of course, I replaced her Barbie. Anybody else with a good Barbie Story?

My sister cut up my rare Barbie for a diorama for "The Tell-Tale Heart."

I made a series of "altered' barbies and Bratz Dolls for a class project in art school. The head of the department was at my crit and was rendered totally speechless (mostly because it was pretty strange I think and she couldn't stop laughing).

for the person having trouble with their scissors, try an inexpensive pair of kitchen sheers or a pair of the scissors EMTs and Athletic Trainers use for cutting off face masks. (Can be purchased inexpensively on the internet). They cut through arms and legs pretty well.

Everyone, please take photos of your barbies! I would love to see the outcome of these!
