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.

Poetta

Maker:
Volks
Head Sculpt:
4 Sisters Megu
Skintone:
Oldskin White
Body:
SD13
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Shironuri styled faceup by myself
    Date of acquisition:
    December 2020 (but originally made in 1999)
    Provenance:
    Purchased 2nd hand in the DoA marketplace
    Reason for choice:
    I wanted a 4-sisters sculpt to be the originator of my collection story, so when this one came up in the marketplace, I simply couldn’t resist her. The idea of getting one of the original Volks girls from the very beginning of the hobby was quite compelling.
    Best Points:
    Volks 4-sisters Megu...one of the very first which is so historically perfect to be the storyteller of my collection!
    Worst Points:
    Old and yellowed, but so worth having because she’s still gorgeous!
    Along the way with this doll, I discovered the Japanese style of Shironuri (literally “painted white”) and how devotees of this style use their faces and fashion to tell a story. Because her yellowing was proving to be somewhat difficult to photograph, I decided to take the bold move of turning her into a Shironuri character because it so perfectly fit her character as the storyteller of my collection.
  • Eyes:
    18mm ED urethanes in brown, 18mm Oscar jeweled eyes in Teal
    Wig:
    9/10 Amadiz pale blonde angora with soft pink highlights, and multiple long, luxurious Tibetan mohair wigs in various colors made by me.
    Favourite colours:
    Any and all colors
    Fashion style(s):
    Long country Lolita dresses, worn with a long loose sleeveless robe-vest “slow-sttched” by hand that tells a story.
    Key fashion accessory:
    Hair accessories to enhance her elaborate wigs.
    Poetta prefers to dress in old-fashioned country-styled Lolita gowns, but with an added long robe-vest that illustrates whatever story she’s telling.
  • Name story:
    I chose the name Poetta because she’s a writer of story poems, and the original storyteller of my collection.
    Character age:
    Late teens/early twenties
    Character gender:
    female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Poetta is a young poet who writes story poems, telling the tales of the fantasy realm that exists just beyond the hedgerow. She lives in a large old Victorian on the corner of 4th avenue and Memory lane, where magical creatures and fantastical characters often visit when they hop over the gate between the two realms. She has befriended them all, and they love sharing their tales with her. Some of them have even come to enjoy living in the Victorian’s enchanted attic and whimsical conservatory.
