I am proud to announce another custom Mattel Cher creation. Last year, I had the great pleasure of creating Mattel's Cher dolls into custom repaints, namely, the Half-breed Cher and the Purple Gown Bob Mackie Cher.

This time, I'm pleased to share my latest Cher - "If I Could Turn Back Time", based on her music video of that song. As with all my repaints, no details have been spared.

So , as I always do, I completely removed factory facial painting and hand painted the doll to create a faithful replica of Cher's features particularly inspired by her look in her 1980s music video "If I Could Turn Back Time".

The doll's hair has been also been meticulosuly reworked with cut and style. I also delicatley paint enhanced the hair line for added realism.

The inset photo on the bottom middle shows the doll as it looked originally before repainting.

Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.

-- acrylic paint and ultra fine brushes

(Note: I am not in any way affiliated with the Mattel.)

This must have been a toughie, to create a doll representing a human who has done her utmost to look like a doll. You have a great gift Noel, I'm jealous (in a non threatening kind a way)

Why do they always make her blue or purple eyed to begin with?

This is gorgeous. I seriously dont see why the company insists on giving most of their dolls, god awful makeup and those dead blue eyes. Cher's eyes aren't even blue. :(

I totally agree, the browns eyes now painted on the doll is much more believable. The only time I ever saw Cher without brown eyes was on the cover of her best of album. And even then they were purple.
