From the Artist:
The inspiration for this piece was the purchase of the exquisite animal print leather from Turkey. I found the perfect animal print vintage jewelry pieces to accent her with. She is a MisChief Wild Thing!
From the Artist:
Inspired by the purchase of this beautiful leather she is created from. The color is amazing and pairing it with a vintage sari silk is stunning. I love the two little vintage alligator jewelry pieces from Chicos that I found for her accents! The colors are perfect purple and blue!
The description of my creations that was made famous by New Orleans own Queen of Talk, my friend Andre Trevigne comes to mind with this piece. ""Now these ain't ya mama's Barbie Dolls. These are what Barbie would look like after spending a week on Bourbon Street!"
