Dollstown Mini discussion part 6

All good choices. I don't see many Marus.

 

I love Maru! I have considered getting her, but I think she might look too old to be friends with Una, though. I have also considered Jea, who looks much younger.

 

I am totally undecided at the moment.
I would like her to work with the girls I already have and they are young (around about 7 years old I always imagine) so I too worry about Maru looking too old for this gang.

But then I always thought Alina was an 'older' sculpt until I saw Teddy's Alina's and they are young.
I am still deep in the thinking stage

 

The faceup can definitely make a difference. The faceup I got for my Amy definitely looked older than the faceup for Deogi. I ended up getting Deogi facedup again. Instead of 5 and 7 I made the girls 7 and 9,

 

Good idea to 're-age' the girls....the mini DT7 girls easily fit into that age range in my mind

 

@Jane I opened a Postimage account too, to use for sale photos etc, as I like to try and keep Flickr for nicer photos. I was really pleased with it until yesterday when I was bumping my sale threads and noticed all the images had vanished! I went to the site and there's a notice saying the domain is locked. It gives a new domain to use, but I just sighed and stuck my pics on Flickr. I might check out Shutterfly @coleen that sounds good.

Anyway, here's a pic of Jodi looking rather fed up at being taken to the beach in the pouring rain.



Have fun choosing your new girl's head Jane

 

It is a real bother about Postimage.....isn't it *sigh* I will give them a week longer to see if they fix the issue before looking into Shutterfly.

I love that shot of Jodi in the rain. I think she needs a friend to help cheer her up! Heheheheee
Here is my girl Penelope (Deogi) at the beach too but I had better weather last week.....windy but at least it was dry.



I have more photos of her to show but I haven't loaded them to Flickr yet

 

@mikki and @Jane I love the photos of your girls at the beach. I love the wildness and naturalness of coastal beaches. Where I live they are just small man-made beaches on man-made lakes.

Ah, the saga of the photo hosting sites...

 

Thanks @Jane and I think you're probably right, she does look rather lonely doesn't she. That is a fabulous photo of Penelope, it's just perfect, her outfit, rucksack, picnic table, everything. She is such a pretty girl with a pensive expression.

Thanks very much @coleen

 

@coleen I live very nearly in the centre of my country so only get to see the coast about twice a year........I get so excited when I see the sea.
Are the lakes near where you live very large?

@mikki Yes! She needs a friend of her own age! And thank you, I felt mean only taking one doll of holiday with me last week but I knew the weather forecast wasn't going to be that great for photos so I settled on just the one BJD in the end and Penelope got lucky.
This photo was taken on a small outcrop that gets cut off by the tide so I had to keep an eye on the time when I was taking photos here.

 

@Jane where I currently live are only small ponds and lakes at a golf course and Boy Scout camp. I grew up on Indian Lake, which is a 5000+acre lake. Until 4 years ago I lived near the Ohio River, separating Ohio and Kentucky; long, but not wide and full of commercial or industrial development. I am now at the opposite end of the State and I am about 1 1/2 hours from Lake Erie. It is a large lake, one of the 5 Great Lakes.

 

@Jane Oooh, being cut off by the tide wouldn't be fun for you or Penelope. She looks as though she was keeping a good lookout.

@coleen Wow, a 5000 acre lake! I'm trying to imagine how big that looks!

 

@coleen I had to go to Google maps to get an idea of where you live.
I can remember learning about the Great Lakes (as we called them) in Geography lessons in primary school, many many years ago.

@mikki it wouldn't have been fun at all as it was so cold last week!


And so far I am leaning towards getting a Jea to go on that spare DT7 body I have

 

Last time I looked Jea was the top of my DT wish list. I daren't go looking again at the moment because sadly I have to be good for ages!

 

@mikki Oh bother about you having to be 'good for ages' *rats*
Unless it is a good reason you have be good of course!

I am lucky, as I have an extra special big birthday at the end of the month. So I am allowed treat myself.....so long as I don't spend too much

 

@Jane It's mostly Iple FID men, haha, although there is a crown and bridge denting the purse too.

Oh lovely, yes extra special big birthdays deserve treats for sure!

 

I think they are very versatile - my Una is 11 or 12.

 

*rats* about the dental work Mikki ((hugs))
And I wondered how old Una was Kristin, as I knew she was a Girl Guide and not a Brownie Guide.

And an update:
It occurred to me this morning that I am looking to buy because there is an Event on at Dollstown, and not because I need a new character
And that (for me) is not a good enough reason to buy.
And that would also explain why I can't make up my mind about who to buy........so I am shelving buying plans at the moment. I will buy when I am aching to buy someone

 

Yes, I know the body is supposed to represent a 7 year old, but I have a tall lanky 12 year old daughter and the DT7 body looks far more like her now than it did when she was 7, so that's the age that works for me. I love that it is so versatile and covers an age range of a few years very well.

This is very wise. I am also on the fence. My Seola doesn't have a faceup yet and I’m not sure she will even “live” in the same time period as Una. If she is more modern, they can easily share a body.

 

If she doesn't live in the same time period they can easily share the body.......what colour resin is Una?
