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.

    1. Denver Doll Emporium has a good selection of shoes in the 43-45mm range. They also have some specifically listed as fitting our girls. Someone here (sorry, it's been a while since I saw the post so I can't quite remember who, she had very fashionable dolls, Raesha maybe?) has shown the Ruby Red Galleria shoes fit well.
       
    2. Thanks Lynn Nexus! I'll have to check DM out, and maybe I'll find some things for my MSDs as well! I've already spotted a pair of heels I'd been looking at on eBay, hehe. I'll check our Ruby Red as well, always good to have places to look for shoes.

      I'll check out DDE as well, thanks Tephra!



      I don't think I've posted a pic of my girl yet, but since I'm technically trying to make her Mom's and she's in need of a new faceup and all that good stuff....yeahhh
       
    3. Ughhh guys I love Aspen, my Bao, but I can't help but think that I basically have half of a set of twins, two of my older oc's. Technically, I envisioned them MSD but the Bao sculpt is so perfect. The problem is finding money to buy his twin... especially when yosd isn't my favourite size and I'm swamped by them at the moment... not to mention needing wigs and eyes ; A ;
      These are my boys (the twins, obviously) http://fav.me/d69mf5s
      And here's some Aspen spam, for the fun of it~ (this wig got stolen from him... another reason to character switch imo...)

    6. I've taken an interest in the Bobobie/ResinSoul 27cm Girl Ni sculpt, but there's no database for them. If anyone has the sculpt or is familiar with the BJD, please let me know! I'd love to hear any feedback. Thank you for your time, and take care.
       
    7. Definietly look through the previous threads and through this one too. I know SOMEONE has a Ni.

      My girls are slowly getting ready for Halloween...Avery is the ONLY one getting megaspoiled this year as she's new. Vala gets her pick out of her MANY costumes I've made her:

    10. Hi! So I used to have a March but didn't end up bonding well, but then a beautiful Isabella went on the market and I had to buy her :D I'd share pictures of her now, but the thing is, I unstrung her to get her hands and feet blushed, and now I can't restring her with my new elastic...

      I got elastic to string her with, but it seems too thick- it was almost impossible to get it through the holes in her wrist, and then once I managed that, there was no way to get the second end through her arm pieces again. I'm pretty sure I just need thinner elastic. So I was wondering if I could get some advice on where to buy elastic that will definitely fit and function?

      Or- any advice/tricks on how to string her with thicker elastic?

      Thanks!
       
    11. Don't try to string her one side at a time. I use a ribbon to pull my strings through but that only works if you have s hooks which March will not have... You can try to stretch the elastic before it goes into the arm but you're going to have a hard time if it's so thick you can't get two sides through normally. Some people love their elastic way big, to the point where it is like you're talking, I personally like some wiggle-ability

      Size wise you want about 2 to 2.5 MM elastic.
       
    12. The problem is, don't I have to do it this way? She doesn't have S-hooks so how else can I string her but one end of elastic at a time?
       
    13. So, she's still not strung, but here's why I'm asking how to string a bobobie Isabella without S-hooks... right now she's strung vertically but still armless ^^;;;

    14. I;m sorry, I didn't explain myself properly. What I meant to say, and totally failed at is you can try to use ribbon to string her.

      What I would do is take the elastic, tie a ribbon good and tight to it... like super tight. Make sure the ribbon is long. Thread everything onto the ribbon, through the arm, hand and back through the arm. Then carefully use the ribbon to pull the elastic through.

      And it is possible to string both sides through at once, you just can't do what I'd call "normal" stringing if you do it that way, you have to string each arm/leg separately and tie them all in the head, Makes for a mess to be honest. If you can't string her with the new elastic, most JoAnnes have elastic by the yard and package elastic.
       
    15. For the person who was interested in Ni, I just got one and her pics are all over my blog. She's really cute. I love her big eyes! She also poses pretty well.

    16. Catching up with DoA!
      My Bao did become Sebastien briefly (seen here: Seb (but not Seb anymore)) but due to the wig the characters changed... and they didn't fit the Bao sculpt any more... so instead we have Lark! [​IMG]Lark by Izzy, on Flickr
      He's a lot like Aspen... but girlier, and a cat.
