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.

Angel of Dream (AOD) 1/4 size discussion thread Part 2

May 15, 2007

    1. @The_Modern_Maiden
      Well, I didnt realize that they even MADE gloves for 1/4 sized BJD's! I need some!
      do you have any idea how to get ahold of some simple / cheap white ones?

      @Mysteriousmage
      Just thought id note that my girl, Idrial, doesnt like to be posed either. she rathers go pose herself.
       
    2. Faith In Beauty - I've spent all morning buying clothes for my AoD hybrids at Alices Collections - so I know they sell gloves http://www.acbjd.com/ot002-p-307.html?cPath=3_29 and now you've reminded me, I wish I'd bought some, as they'd be perfect for my characters!
       
    3. Faith In Beauty: yup pretty much. lol.

      dollsfairy: your girl is very pretty! I really like her look!
       
    4. Thanks to The_Modern_Maiden, Faith In Beauty and Mysteriousmage for thinking my ear piercing brave. It wasn't that difficult though and because you turn the little drill yourself it's not that likely to go to wrong. I found out from another thread on here that the nail drill was the way to go. I got one cheap on ebay and it came with a set of dangles (apparently some people have them hanging from their long nails though I think it would drive me nuts!) which are quite a good size for bjd jewellery.
      Dollfairy your girl looks great and very fashionable:)
       
    5. @elve
      Oh Very cool! i may have to order some~
      @dollsfairy
      OMGoshness! I love your girl! she looks So Real!
      @Kavarr

    6. Ordinary PVA glue works wonderful with eyelashes.
       
    7. @Aira
      um, whats PVA stand for, i know of Elmer glue, craft glue and such, but those are what fell out...
      do you think superglue would be better since i often change her eyes out?
       
    8. Faith In Beauty
      Polyvinyl acetate is a component of a widely used glue type, commonly referred to as wood glue, white glue, carpenter's glue, school glue, Elmer's glue (in the US), or PVA glue, as google says.
      My girls' lashes do not fall out, because the glue I used was rather thick. Also a little practice may be needed, it's very easy to glue the lashes askew, and with superglue it'll be difficult to reattach them properly.
       
    9. Dollsfairy, Claudia is so fashionable! He looks great!

      Modern Maiden, what sculpt is Fred? He's so cute! Great face-up! And those shorts are really adorable. I'm voting "hot chicks:. :)

      Faith, great poses to show off your girls' new dresses! They're lovely! And your newest shot of Idrial is really cute too. You're very good at taking natural looking photos.

      Kavarr, I love Lividian's fave-up. The white lashes really pop. His earrings look great too.

      Here's an old shot of Silas hanging out with his friend Vyxie.

    10. @Aira
      very good point! and thank you!
      @Maxtastic
      Aww, your too kind! thank you. i work really hard with idrial and her alter-ego, jade, to get good shots. i take about ten photos per pose so i can get 1 perfect and clear one. then i deleete the others that did not turn out well.
      so thank you. i work really hard with the photo taking of idrial/jade!
       
    11. Faith in Beauty - Maybe you could make the lashes long enough to go inside the head, with the eye-putty and eyes holding them in?
      Never tried it myself, but I've thought about it.

      Maxtastic - Thank you! Fred is a 2010 Min on a 2012 body (Gene and Fred traded body's haha!)
      I had to blush his head to match his body, and I still haven't blushed his head-cap.
      I like his face-up, but I will re-do it one day, I like his right eyebrow, how it's quizzical, & the blushing lines under his eyes, it's cute.
      Most voted on "Hot Chicks" I did to... but they do kinda look like fuzzy ducks.

      Your boy and his friend are cute in their own little video game world.
       
    12. @The_Modern_Maiden
      Thanks. Ill just glue them in longer lashes, and thicker glue next time i get lashes.
      Yeah, Maxtastic's are being gamers like me it would seem! they are awesome!
      ^w^
       
    13. Using the school/white glue is your best bet as there may come a time when you need to have her face-up re-done (or want it re-done) and it would be very difficult to get superglued lashed off.

      I have found that if you put a bit of white glue (about 1/4 the size of a dime) on your hand in the web of skin between your thumb and index finger of your non-dominant hand and then gently hold the lashes with tweezers and drag the lashes lightly through the glue, you'll get the right covering. Use toothpicks or bamboo skewers (I use the skewers) to gently nudge the lashes into place and hold them there until the glue is partially dry. I wait at least a few hours after putting eyelashes on before popping eyes in just to make sure the lashes are nicely secured in place.
       
    14. Faith in Beauty just be careful what glue you use as some can eat into things like resin. I use white craft glue/PVA as it's known to be safe with resin. It holds pretty well although they do fall off occasionally but I prefer to deal with that than damage to one of my dolls :)
      Maxtastic thanks and your boy looks so cool. I love his piercings and the ear one looks amazing!
       
    15. Elmers glue it is then!
      Thank you all for your input!
