The image shows a GI Joe action figure seated near a beach. He's reclining barefoot on a wicker chair, and he looks very dapper in a 1950's style hat. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a collar and tie, and his legs are crossed. He wears jeans to add a casual "beach attire" look to his handsome demeanor.

And the “Traveler” doll he designed is absolutely gorgeous! Her hair is a lovely chestnut brown with a silky-soft texture. She bends at the head/neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, … Continue reading ChellyWood.com designed some #DollClothes for #Lammily
