About

I'm a 30-something doll collector based in Spain. Back in 2013 I started collecting Monster High dolls and doing some crafts for them (so that's why the blog is called Monster Crafts), but later I started growing an interest in other dolls such as Ever After High and Barbie.

I post about anything doll related, from reviews, photography ideas, crafts, etc. Currently I'm more focused on crafts, dioramas and backgrounds for doll photography, being my Mix'n'match series a huge part of it, but I still do cover other doll-related topics. I don't see this blog as me teaching anybody, but rather than sharing what I'm learning along the way and hopefully inspiring somebody. When I started collecting dolls, I knew nothing and often couldn't find the information that I needed. I often couldn't find much on how to make doll furniture, dioramas or tips to doll photography, so I had to learn by try and error. This blog is a way for me to share what I'm learning along the way and the kind of information I would have found useful when I started. 

 Despite the blog involves dolls, it is targeted towards an adult audience because, well, I'm an adult. However, I try to keep the blog free of strong language and sensitive topics. Anyway, I would recommend adult supervision while reading this blog. 

Hope you enjoy my blog and join me in the fantastic world of doll collecting. I would love to have you around here.

      Hello,
      Thanks for your compliment and for stopping by. I'm happy that you consider Spain your second home and I'm sure that you'll be more than welcome if you ever come back. Unfortunatelly, I haven't been an active blogger lately, but I'm working on a couple of posts for this summer.
      Thank you very much for your lovely comment.

The return of Monster High

Image
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I want to do something that I don't do that often and that it's write an opinionated post. I don't typically talk about doll news or comment on dolls I don't own yet, but from time to time I like to do something different. Please, keep in mind that is my own personal opinion, which is subjective. Also, my criticism is meant to be constructive, and not meant to disrespect the designers involved or their work. If anything, my main critiques are directed to Mattel as a whole. I will also try to break this post into sections, for easy reading. And now, let's finally get into it.   A while back, it was announced that Monster High will be making a comeback. If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love Monster High. Hence, my nickname is "Monster Crafts". However, since the line was discontinued around 2016-2017, I have been focusing more on my Barbie dolls.  A little backstory on Monster High For those

Retro Review: Barbie Travelin' House playset (1995)

Image
Hi again, doll lovers! How is your summer going so far? Jeez, this summer is keeping me busy. Our house makeover is finally taking off. We've been busy meeting with the contractor and choosing the materials. At first I was quite frustrated because I didn't see any progress, but now I finally see it moving, slowly but steady. Also, both Mr. Monster and I got sick a couple of weeks ago, which didn't leave with much time left to play with dolls. Anyway, I'm finally here with a new blog post. A while back Barb posted on her blog about a doll she had as child. On that post, I told her about this playset and I thought it would be interesting to show it to you guys. Also, Barb, I hope you don't mind that I've been mentioning you like in 4 out of 5 blog posts lately. I hope you guys find it interesting, both if you had this as a child or if you are just curious about Barbie playsets. Let's start!

Fashion Galore

Hi everyone! You may have noticed that I haven't posted in a week, but I have been working on a Youtube video and, since my photo table and craft table are the same, I haven't been able to take photos of my dolls. Also, Mr. Monster and I have been busy in other life stuff, and since I need him to help me with the video, we haven't been able to work on it as much as I wanted to. It's quite a simple craft video, but I hope I can upload it by next week.  Today, instead of doing a doll review, I'd love to showcase some of the Barbie fashion packs that have been sitting in my doll room for several months. Since I'm quite new to Barbie collecting, I don't have many Barbie fashions, so I'm keeping an eye on getting as many as I can.
