Rock Star Barbie
About this design:
The pictures do not do the color justice, this is the brightest most brilliant color of hot pink mother of pearl.
All I could think of the entire time I was making this was "Barbie" "Rock Star" and "Jem and the Holograms" (which was a cartoon when i was a kid).
Just wanted something fun and funky.
Components:
Pink Mother or Pearl (dyed), Black glass, silver plate, pewterAdditional Images:
