This doll is the pride and joy of my collection. Another EverQuest-inspired creation, I made a lot of mistakes that I had to correct, and learned a lot about actually creating what I wanted. Because of my mistakes (by the way, a light bulb is hot enough to melt nylon doll hair), she took just over 31 hours to complete, so far the most of any of my dolls.

Generation Girl Chelsea as the Wood Elf Bard has been given a partial repaint; with grey and silver eyes, green and earthy eyeshadow, and berry lip color. I use fine artist quality acrylic paint and varnish. Her hair has been hand re-rooted in places to repair burning damage, it was then combed and styled. She sports adorable pointed elf ears, sculpted by hand with Super Sculpey. Her leggings and boots are made with earthy brown velvet, the accents are hand embroidered and beaded. Her vest is a light tan satin accented with green mesh and embroidery. She wears a golden glass choker around her neck and a leafy ornament in her hair. She taps a beat on her trusty War Drum of the Rathe, and her Muramite Fife of Battle hangs across her shoulders. All garments are hand fitted and sewn from cotton and polyester fabric. Instruments are original doll accessories. She is signed and dated on the back, her clothing is not removable.
