Doll In Mind - LOVE - Discussion II

Well yes there are certainly traditional tea shops some places, other things too like the cute boba places ... if only we were all in the same location, huh?
If I had a house or you know... anything decent, and it were pre-2020 and all that jazz I would be happy to make tea for everyone I actually did used to host a little thing like that at my place briefly, with a whole cabinet of teas and everything haha!
Yes there is certainly no tea party without snacks! Sometimes I would have pie. Pie, tea and dolls oh my.
I should show Nagi with the dragonware next I guess. It technically was claimed by my loongsoul girl (Chelsea) Because it's so fitting for her. Dragonware is so cool looking. I found a single miniature doll-sized teacup in our nasty goodwill bins once and it's so completely cherished now
Nagi is currently resting in a box with Salem (angel region) they have become good friends, they look cute next to each other. *Takes notes on snapshots to take later*

 

Thank you all! I may have given myself another crafting addiction for earrings for him. @AlisonVonderland I'm going into a cyber punk direction from him. Black with teal highlights are his colours. I love me some alternative boys.

Aww I'd love a DIM tea party. i would bring all my DIM boys and tiny tea sets for all the dolls.

 

Ugh that will be wonderful @HighPriestessIce I love alternative too lol. Sven (D.i.l. Rydel) actually is moving away from punk and romantic goth into cyber Goth. Doing some lime green and black. Or close to. I hate making him new stuff because I honestly hate black clothes. I can't see well enough on it. And cat Hair. God the cat hair!
Anyway I will be on the edge of my seat to wait for photos of your cyber punk fella as he comes together!

Maybe we could do a virtual tea party and take pictures of our D.i.m's with their drinks and post them that would be cute.

 

I love the idea of a virtual party. I am definitely anticipating giving my current DIM boys a little maintenance and refresh in the fall months. And Bodies for my other two in December. I'll be taking the year off work in November (selling my art and props), with the exception of Doll North and just focusing on my own dolls and things. So I am looking forward to really getting my collection to where I want it to be.

 

Oh! The idea of a virtual tea party sounds like fun! Maybe when everyone gets their dolls all squared away we could plan something?

Oh noes! I don’t have a tiny tea set!

 

If you still use Etsy you can buy single tea/coffee cups with the "drink" in them for 1/3 and American girl scale in several different shops... this may or may not be one of my secret infatuations.

 

Oh yes those are great! People use the base cups like that and then put the "drink" in them, you'll see that on Etsy. I have some red ceramic ones though that I have had forever, coffee and hot chocolate hopefully that's allowed lol.
But you're right, painting them like fancy teacups would be super fun.

I currently want to find some red Dixie cups in 1/3 (ish) you used to see them at dollar stores in the weird party section but I haven't seen them recently... i have another extra fancy doll hot chocolate someone local made in one of those cups so they've got to be around here somewhere!
I want to work on a "rave" photo collection, which is what they would be for. @HighPriestessIce yesterday I was randomly searching the forum to see how many people ever made rave photos and there was not a lot but I found old pictures you posted of your Lloyd! That made me happy!

 

Thanks AlisonVonderland! I'll have to check out Etsy.

 

I definitely have a few of my handmade SD tea sets to choose from but knowing me I'll probably make a whole new set.

Do the cups have to be red? There's this perfectly scaled beer pong set you can get from a bookstore in the mini book section or on amazon. I have it for Leviathan. It looks like this. The cups are perfectly scaled for SD.


I'm totally itching to do more rave shoots myself. Considering Leviathan is in the middle of getting a whole wardrobe's worth of new pieces. I can't wait to see you do yours!

 

You make those sets @HighPriestessIce ?! Wooww they are beautiful!

And oh thank you! Nah red is not essential. I love the beer pong set and that's an awesome thing to hunt for now!
I've wanted to do a rave/party shoot forever but we'll see if I actually do, and when

 

Wow! HighPriestessIce, you made all of those tea sets? (My mind is blown! ) You are so creative!

 

Thank you! I did! I have an obsession for tiny drinks and food so I even have a full bar in the works with all kinds of glasses. Since a night club is kind of half of my dolls' story line. That's where Leviathan lands, the others including my new DIM boys, are part of a travelling circus.

 

Thank you! I got both my work room back and dolls out of storage, so I've started working on Leviathan's wardrobe. And this idea of a tea party has me extra motivated! I've designed new tea sets just gotta pick out one.
I am also anxiously awaiting some sort of update from Denny about the 1/3 heads. I have so many ideas swirling in my head and this urge for more dolls haha.
