Dollstown 13yr & 15yr Discussion - part three

Managed to get my backdrop sorted, glued the top to an inch wide wooden strip then bought some self-adhesive magnetic tape on ebay and stuck it on the back of the strip, now I can attach it to my magnetic noticeboard when I want to use it. Went to the garden centre today for lunch and to look at the Xmas sale items, bought the little dog for half-price and the perfect little trug for 99p! Not sure what it is supposed to be for but just the right scale for Monica and came in loads of colours, still trying out my new camera so picture isn't the best.

 

This is super pretty and refreshing to look at - so spring/summery & your girl is of course beautiful in that pale tan.

 

She is gorgeous Avril and I love how you have dressed her, and well done on the Garden Centre bargains!
And I like how you sorted out the backdrop too, I am taking notes here! I tend to just peg mine onto a very large piece of card.

 

Exiting news, I got my shipping notice today for Yujin. He was ordered 1.2.2014 (in stock).
I hope all the stars align and the post will try and deliver him Friday or Saturday. What a luxury it is to have a doll shipped so fast!

 

Oh how exciting!!! Dollstown are amazing!!!

 

My Amy head arrived on Monday (no customs) so she has gone off to wet Wales today for her beauty treatment, just hope it stops raining a bit there so the MSC can dry!

 

*yippee* for you too Avril
Will she be getting an Yves face-up? And I will keep my *fingers crossed* about the rain stopping......it really is just so dreary at the moment, isn't it?!

 

Hi Jane, yes you are right, she has gone to Yve for her face-up, I hope she is not away too long but it does depend on the weather at this time of year. Though actually here in Yorkshire we have had a lovely mild day and my area seems to have avoided the recent extreme wet and very windy weather.

 

I can't wait to see her on her return
And it has certainly been much milder here near Nottingham today......thank goodness. Yesterday is was so dank and dreary, I had to flash outdoors to get a photo! *gasp*

You can just see if the outline of the apple tree if you squint hard! LOL!

 

My Yujin & 15yr boy body arrived today! I am just giddy by how beautifully magical this boy is. Even though the body is a 2 part torso…I don't even miss having the chest joint. The sculpting of the body is soooo…graceful and organic, and I just love his little face.…I know I'm preaching to the choir here about Dollstown dolls but I just had to spazz out about him. Now I'm left debating his name, which artist I send him to and shopping for his appropriate clothes, wig and eyes. Although I have plenty lying around to keep him clothed, wigged and eyed; he just looks like he's borrowing my other boys stuff...

 

Oh I am so pleased for you!!!
And I love to hear how others love the DT dolls, so sing away I still have never seen in person the new DT15 male body.

And good luck finding an artist to bring him even more to life for you, and have fun shopping for him too!
Isn't it funny how some clothes and wigs simply do look like borrowed items on other dolls!

I will have to keep an eye on your Flickr page to see if you post any photos there of him soon.............I do like how you dress your other lads btw.

 

Jane, I agree abut your beautiful Bandi. She's beautiful and does look like she has a Mona Lisa smile! Its nice to see a little smile on a DT girl.

mdonline03, congratulations on Yujin. Can't wait to see photos! Nothing more fun than a new sculpt. I liked the boy look of him.

Avril, how exciting about our Amy! She's lovely girl. I hope the weather cooperates for her faceup. It's so cold here the house is making popping noises!

Lots of anticipation here for great photos to come.

 

Jane & Soda-Pop - Thank you!

I'll post at least one reference picture of him before he heads off...I was able to score an artist that has done a few of my other boys so I'm happy about that. I'm just not ready to send him off just yet! But he has at least told me his name and it's Malachi. Shopping for clothes will be a bit tough since his character is telling me that he is from King Herod's period and a young deposed prince (his guards/advisers are going to be Dollshe's Grant Phillipe & Simply Divine's Nkiru). But sewing robes and such hopefully won't be horribly challenging...

& Thank you Jane for your kind comments about my other boys. They pick their own outfits! And I might add that your lovely little lady is looking pretty sassy herself.

 

{{laughing}} yes that they do! But they let us pick up the bill! LOL!

Your story for your new lad is really intriguing....good luck and have fun sewing for him!

 

Got photos of my Elysia from Sally and I am delighted with how she turned out! I can't wait to get her home to me.

Oh Theresa *bounce* I am so excited and just so pleased for you!!!

 

I am 'bouncing' all over, Jane! Her eyes arrived just the other day and her wig is here too. She doesn't have too much in the way of clothing yet, but that will be remedied soon enough. I am in love already.

 

I want to introduce Lucy - She is also painted by Sally.

I am so glad to get her back - Thanks to the horrible weather she and Soi spent a couple of months in Maine. It was well worth the wait.

 

Theresa do you have any idea when she will get to you yet? And will you make clothes for her, or just have fun shopping for her?!

And huge congratulations to you too Martha I hadn't thought about the freezing weather making face-up work almost impossible!

 

And Soi - She is my tragic poet. Talk about dollstown girls looking sad - this one expresses despair quite easily. I still love her. She has two little freckles that almost match two my daughter has and Sally did that without knowing or my asking. Perhaps dolls connect to us with red threads too.

I'm not sure if she will stay with the curly hair or not. I have a piece of black lambskin coming so she may end up with that type of wig. (And I need to straighten her eye)
