Contrary to popular belief, Marie wasn't born with the gift of Balloon Mastery  ;)  Prior to becoming one of the World's most in demand balloon couturiers, she enjoyed a plethora of other artist or craft related hobbies.

The One of a Kind (OOAK) Barbies were all re-dressed in hand-crafted gowns to depict elegant themes from movies, nature and patriotic events.  Several other dolls were created in a variety of styles.  The ones shown here were also repainted and had their hair coifed to match their ensembles.  

*(The Satine doll was painted and hair done by Spanish artist Juan Albuerne)
