Congrats I was wondering if I'd see this little guy here when I saw the images Sioux shared of him. Sioux does such great work, she has done all of the custom work on my dolls (sadly all the off topic dolls so can't share ) and I have a 5 year old niece who still adores the doll I had Sioux do up for her three years ago Glad to see she's still on top form. Will you be re-naming him or will he remain as Adori?
Yeah, I'd mostly seen her doing the off topic dolls but I was looking for a UK face up artist and her website mentioned BJDs, so I asked and she was happy to discuss. (I've already planned to send her another doll that currently has a company face up I'm not keen on.) He's going to get a new name, but I don't have one yet - need to do some research into what would work, and wait for the character to develop. I always find it hard to name them until they have the right hair on.
Being told there's absolutely no way I can get an Adori this pre-order is extremely heartbreaking. I really want a little elf Adori ;A;
I'm sorry to hear this, NamelessPierrot, but I know exactly where you're coming from. I was planning to buy my little tan Adori girl this time, but things happened and the plan had to be shelved. I was crushed, too. I'm hoping there will be another Adori order period in about six months, and I will have cash for it.
I'm very excited, I'll be placing my pre-order for a black pearl adori when I deposit my next pay check! I can't wait, I have some big plans for her character! I love the little cuties.
I just paid the second half of my layaway for an elf adori this morning. I'm excited about getting this doll. He's going to be the only little boy in my stories, Rylad.
I hope you all get your Adoris, I'm looking forward to seeing the rainbow of colors! I'd forgotten that I got two wigs for my girl before she arrived, and found the second one while digging through my small-wig box. I think this is going to be my favorite--two little braids and loose fly-aways. It's a Monique "Tessie". Rabbit by Nadine, on Flickr
I hope you're right, aernath -- that would be perfect timing for me! I'm also wondering how soon we'll see Nanni become available. I know he was planning to do a giveaway once he reached a certain number of followers. She's also supposed to have three different head options. And I wonder if the release will coincide with another Adori order period. (Updated to add: he's saying on Instagram that Nanni's chubby body will be cast next month.) Looking way, way down the road: he's also said that he's going to sculpt dolls of all three of his kids, so I'm really curious about when we will see the prototype of Adori's eldest sister. (Updated to add: her name is Maji, and he says she will be MSD sized!) These are the things I think about, to distract myself from the feelings of loss and resignation over having to sit out this Adori order period!
@phanuel That wig is so cute! The perfect length too! That sweater coat is lovely. I like the colors, and it looks very well made!
@aernath My daughter has become very adept at knitting. I don't know how she finds the time with a toddler running around but I'd like to convince her to make some more doll things, if I can find patterns.
My girl doesn't have a faceup as yet, but she does have a bathing suit that I knitted for her in time for the summer holidays. Addiena Bathing Suit by hookedonirises2000, on Flickr
All of this gorgeous knitwork, from El BJD and from phanuel's daughter -- I'm in awe! I barely know the difference between knit stitch and purl, so seeing work this tiny and this well-done just blows me away.
I have managed to purchase a Adori head on the second hand market, all I'm waiting on is her body which is taking forever to arrive
Has anybody purchased an OnlyDoll Pink skin body for their Adori Peach Normal skin head. I am not impressed with the body at all. Posing isn't great compared to Fairyland dolls so on a search for a better body.
