Pipe Cleaners too! I tried that with the wool and it helped create a more defined curl pattern. I just cut the pipe cleaners smaller to accommodate.
Yes, excellent idea! When I use straws I use bobby pins to secure the fiber. How do you do it with pipe cleaners?
I just wet the hair a little and then wrap the hair around the pipe cleaner about halfway and then take the other half and twist over the other half. When the hair is dry try your best to untwist everything back the way it was done. I've seen people use the pipecleaners as bobby pins along with the straws so that's an option but it gave a very tight curl when I was done and helped create the texture I was looking for but I was having trouble figuring out how to style it lol
This is my favourite discussion thread on doa tbh! You guys are so helpful and have such creative ideas It's gonna be so good when we all get our girls in!! I can't wait to see everyone's already.
I agree! This thread has been a great place expend some creative energy while patiently waiting for our ladies to come home lol.
I love making doll plans! I'm tempted to try and make some clothes for my girl with some of the fabric I've gathered up so far, but I really want it to fit her well and going off of listed measurements doesn't always give me the fit I want. Maybe I just make looser stuff for now? Are you guys going to be making any clothing for your ladies?
I plan on making some clothes for her using my Minifee. Lola said that they are comparable in size so I'm going to use it to make some basics but I'll wait until she gets here to make anything complicated. The good news if anything doesn't fit my Minifee will have more clothes
Well on her site the bust size is 14.5 which on the fairyland site is comparable to the a-line cutie bust. I have the m-line glamour so I will have to wait until she gets home or I randomly obtain a cutie bust to do more fitted tops but I can do some basic tops in stretch knit. Easier to make a little looser like you said and then take in.
Yay, I actually have an a-line cutie bust girl! I'd be happy to make some fitted shirt patterns based on her if anyone wants. I already have a bodice pattern from a dress I'm making her right now.
That would actually be super awesome! I'll definitely share any patterns I come up with as well. I've been sketching out some outfit ideas, just some basic things I like to wear during the summer
Hey guys~ I'm super late to the party here and am so happy to see so many of you as excited as I am about this girl! She quickly became a grail for me as soon as Lola started sculpting her, and seeing the process of her come to life has really made this girl so much more special! I ordered a cocoa skin girl with a faceup from Lola and the high heeled shoes to go with. I'm thinking of calling her Yue, but it's still up in the air until she arrives.
Seems like everyone got the cocoa skin option . I'm starting to wonder how many normal skin dolls were ordered at all. Actually if it turns out that I like Momoni, I'll gladly order her a normal skin sister, too, if she will be offered again later.
The cocoa skin must have been irresistible for almost all of us then haha! But I'm with you sharkyra, if I really like momoni I will most likely be picking her up in normal skin too if she becomes available again!
It was hard to choose between both colors but I was so drawn in by the cocoa color I knew I was going get her. I wish I could have gotten both though
Anyone thinks 6-7 wigs will fit this girl? Like minifee wigs? I'm thinking of getting an alpaca wig for her.
According to the website she will be able to wear 6-7 inch wigs as well. I'm going to work on some wigs using my minifee as well but I saw a really nice Monique wig the other day that I will buy as another option as well.
