1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Absinthe Silverbell

Maker:
Island Doll
Head Sculpt:
No. 1
Skintone:
Dark Tan
Body:
No. 1
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Me!
    Date of acquisition:
    01/16/20
    Provenance:
    Bought directly from the company via Alice's Collections on 12/14/19. (That's right, 1 month wait time! Wild!)
    Reason for choice:
    Loved the big eyes and wide smile of the head, as well as the weird proportions of the body. Plus, Island had the best color resin for my first tan doll!
    Best Points:
    Sculpt aside (it's REALLY GOOD, imo), the S-hook for the head is a stable ring-type design rather than the usual hook, and her large eye holes display 14mm eyes exceptionally well.
    Worst Points:
    Her legs are single-jointed, and their thickness means that she is very kicky - wiring is required, or else you'll spend 5 minutes minimum fiddling with her on the doll stand to get them straight. She definitely can't stand without a stand, and if you don't like her molded shoes, you'll need to buy feet elsewhere. I use Dream Valley YoSD feet with her, but any foot about 15mm wide and 4cm long will fit and look proportional. You'll need to supply hooks for them as well: the hands and feet hooks are VERY hard to remove. Speaking of, those hands will need to be removed if you want to put anything with narrow sleeves on her, so invest in some dressing pegs (again, byo hooks) before buying!
  • Eyes:
    Lemon Jelly Eyes (I believe he called them Rainbow Pie?)
    Wig:
    Hasel's Aesthetics Octarine Purple Mint (Mohair)
    Favourite colours:
    Greens, purples, black
    Fashion style(s):
    Modern and avant-garde, the stranger the better!
  • Name story:
    Absinthe covers both the fairy and the mildly evil angle I was going for, and since she was cast on Christmas Day, I went with Silverbell for the last name!
    Character age:
    Older than she acts!
    Character gender:
    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Abby is very mischievous and loves to play pranks. She means well (usually), she's just easily bored and likes to liven things up however she can.
