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.

Doll Leaves 26cm Discussion

Nov 8, 2010

    1. Thank you! That worked!

      Here is my little Ashlynn. Such a serious girl.
      But, you can see she stands well without shoes of any kind. She is on a very slick table in the picture.
      That is only hot glue and it keeps her very stable. She was a complete mess with holding any poses before the glue treatment. It is everywhere now and I am much happier with her!

    2. Looks like she's got the same body as my Carrie. So just. Lots of glue in the ankle/lower leg joint?
       
    3. I admit it's a little thick, but nothing too extreme. Maybe a little more tension in the elastic might help too?
       
    4. I ended up just gluing the ankle ball to her foot. It means I need to reglue one of her boots that I hadn't unlaced enough to remove nicely (oops) but she stands like a champ in most poses. She also is wired thru knees/hips, and I added extra hotglue to the back inner edge of her pelvis piece to change the torso angle, so she kneels amazingly. She kneels better than she sits or stands!

      eta: remind me to share her new fancy faceup!
       
    5. Fancy faceup, as promised!

    6. Time for a bit of an update :) Carrie is my fancy girl. Eventually I'll make up a pattern for a bodice and get her some more historically styled dresses made.

      We also did some restringing - her legs are secured into her center torso piece, her arms still their own piece, and her head now a third piece, run down through her center torso piece as well. I finally re-glued her shoulders and neck after the last sueding peeled out.

      My sister called her hands "like worry stones" in their curvature too.
