I found this Bride doll on a recent Amvets trip. When I first saw her I didn't immediately think of Halloween or turning her into something festive, but I was struck by how creepy she does look. The fact that her music box base still works and plays the wedding march was a big selling point for me, as were her weird hands. I am convinced that she will make a wonderful corpse bride.
I did a bit of Googling, and found out that she is a Bradley doll (made anywhere from the 50's-80's) and they are popular but there's really no market for them. So, I feel safe in "modifying" her...
My first ideas were to give her dead/black flowers for a bouquet, age her dress and veil (somehow?), and paint her cloth face, somehow into something skeletal and very corpse-like. Also, draping cobwebs from her.
So, I'm asking anyone interested, does anyone else have any good ideas? Has anyone done anything like this before?
I wrote about her on my blog and have pictures of her creepy hands there.
Also, here is the video I took, and what happens at the end is a segue to how she will soon look, and not just me being crazy. ;-)
Thanks!
