I'm back with another Unicorn Twinn today. This is a 1997 Helen that I worked on for the first time in my Toy Box Philosopher days. She came to me looking like this:

Try Again Henna
Sorry for my inattention to comments this past week, but it's been a busy time! My eldest graduated from college (with a virtual ceremony) so I was doing my best to make the day special while also a surprise...a difficult mission in a small house with 5 people! It was a really fun weekend, although I feel bad for kids all over the world who are missing out on important events and milestones, not to mention their normal routines. Congratulations to any other 2020 graduates out there!

Wig Rescue Rani
A while ago my husband and I were taking a walk through our neighborhood and a little girl galloped past, caught up in some fast-paced imaginary game. This girl held my attention, not just because of her happy, flushed face and mismatched outfit, but because she was wearing a headband with ears and a sparkling unicorn horn. The encounter filled me with happiness, and I've kept the image of that little unicorn girl in my head as I work on this next group of dolls.
For the past several weeks I've been restoring five dolls at the same time, with three more waiting in the wings. These girls don't represent any special characters from a story or a movie--they're just regular girls--but they're all dressed in colorful unicorn-themed clothing...and they're all wearing unicorn headbands! I affectionately (and un-creatively) call them the Unicorn Twinns, although I'm also working hard to make sure they're anything but twins, by choosing different coloring and face molds for each girl. The Unicorn Twinns are all outfitted by the talented Julie Kelly of Fairy Tale Blessings.
It is a gorgeous, sunny week here in Maine, and so I felt like this was a great time to start introducing this happy, colorful, diverse group of dolls. I'll start things off with a 2008 Kate who has a medium skin tone:
