As seen on Mattel Creations as INSPO?!
LightDark Dolls has been featured as INSPO for the Mattel Creations Barbie Basics YOU Create Contest!
Cube Shelf Dollhouse
It can be difficult to find the right height shelves when collecting ~12" dolls such as Barbie, but I found some luck with Target's Brightroom Storage Cubes(or alternatively, Walmart's Better Homes and Gardens units) that have enough depth to create a room and host a few posed dolls per level. They are available in a number of configurations such as 2-, 4-. and 6-cube options, but for the purpose of this project I will focus on the 2 cube shelving unit in a vertical orientation.
Musings on generations of Barbie girls and the value of feminine creativity
Ever since I heard about the Barbie movie coming out over a year ago, I was ecstatic. I’ve always been a “Barbie” girl myself in terms of spending countless hours exploring makeup and fashion as a means of expressing creativity; I also shared special memories with my mother sharing her vintage Barbies and handmade clothes out of a box not unlike the case featured in Billie Ellish’s What Was I Made For music video released for the movie.
