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.

    Ordered in september 2017, arrived in march 2018
    Provenance:
    Ordered directly from Dust of Dolls during the pre-order of Appi Cota en Coti.
    Reason for choice:
    Quartz Qin had posted pictures of her amazing gray skinned Cota before. When I saw it for the first time I was awestruck and needed to know which doll she was. I loved her delicate face. When she wasn't available for order, I messaged Dust of Dolls begging them to release her, and my prayers were overheard. I was so happy when she finally was available for pre-order <3
    Best Points:
    Her adorable cute face and curves <3
    Worst Points:
    Her legs are kicky and difficult. A bit of wire and hot glue solved it for me.

    Handmade alpaca wig.

    Duende wears an outfit inspired by characters of the videogame Tree of Savior. I combined the Pardoner and Dievdirbys class outfits into one. Everything about her is handmade, mostly by me except for the shoes.

    She wears:
    - a pink blouse with gathered sleeves and gathered around her neck, with embroidery at the shoulders.
    - a red skirt
    - a brown overdress
    - red handknit arm warmers
    - pink handknit socks
    - leather shoes by Marble Moon on Etsy
    - leather belts and bags by me
  • Name story:
    El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical/emotional response to art. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive.
    I first heard this word in 2016, it was explained in an audio book by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. It moved me very much and stuck with me. When Cota arrived this physical/emotional response was exactly what happened to me. The name seemed suiting :)
    Character gender:
    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
