Island Dolls Mini Discussion part 1

Oct 2, 2005

    1. Thank you Kerantli, Dollzone, I never looked at that company for shoes, terrific. I know what you mean about buying things and being lucky! My Island Doll was the first doll I ever bought. I actually got her full set, but I am not really interested any more in her maid outfit so it is tucked away.

      Lullaby wow, I hope it snows here in Maryland soon, I thought it was going to yesterday but no. By the way, I forgot to ask you where you got that lovely sweater your doll is wearing, so appropriate for the snow! Do you have to take her head off to get that on?
       
    2. Never heard of it before! I wonder if they would want a pic of an Island Doll. They are under-represented. Maybe I will write to them, are you going to? I have to find a good pic.

      Edit: I made a submission.
       
    3. My submission was the AOD Sha Jia who is off-topic in this topic ;)
      Shall be sending both my Island dolls at some point though
       
    4. OH that was you! That is a great pic. I hope the Island Doll(s) gets featured in the blog too. Great idea. XD
       
    5. Umaeril, Aditi did! I spotted her just before I turned tumblr off :lol:

      Also, older Katie spam, before her image change ;)

    6. Alice's collections! I do, but taking her head off is extremely easy in comparison to my other dollies, so it isn't an issue. It's getting the sleeves on that's a bit tricky.

      I'm going to submit some dollies to that sight after I take some pictures of Merricat with my mom's camera. (I'm stuck with a point and shoot that...well... I have no control over the aperture, so everything is too grainy! :sweat but my mom lets me borrow her DSLR camera, so it's okay) :)
       
    7. Lullabygame, I have a point and shoot and a Bridge camera. My partner had a DSLR, but he won't let me use it cause it's too heavy for me :sweat
       
    8. I'm considering ordering a Lilith doll, and was wondering about wigs (as I noticed some talk earlier in this thread in regards to certain wig sizes being too big). A poster mentioned that their Lilith fit well with 7-8 wigs. Would you gals say this is the best fit for this sculpt? I've got my eye on a few from CrobiDoll that I'm considering for this girl when I order her, and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to end up with a wig that was too big, or small for that matter.
       
    9. My Lilith uses 7-8 inch wigs and they fit her very well. :) She also takes 16mm low dome eyes.
       
    10. I currently have my Lilith in a 6-7 wig that fits snugly. I have had her in a 7-8 before though. I believe the exact measurement for her head is a bit under 7".
       
    11. I've had 6-7 and 7-8" wigs on my Lilith. :) Each wig company's fit can be a little different! I think she's in a Monique 7/8 right now that fits okay but looks good. This particular style looked too small though the wigcap fit her fine in 6/7, but that's just a personal preference because she's supposed to have a lot of hair. :p

      She fits 16mm eyes, too. :)
       
    12. Thanks for all the info! :)
      Does she not fit the regular high dome eyes?
       
    13. I have my girl in standard high dome eyes, not sure on the exact size though because I bought them off a friend in person and just tried them in to see if they fit OTL
       
    14. Kerantli does your Katie have a nose piercing?
       
    15. She has a stick on gem for a nose piercing. It's a bit big for her, but it's worked for a temporary one until I find smaller ones
       
    16. Ok that is really cool. I never thought of stick ons. *grins* Boy, so small for the nose though. Even a pin head is too large. I really like that though, looks great on her.
       
    17. It works better when she's in her "alternative" outfit, not as much now she was relegated to the purple dress from my other doll, but it still makes her look like Katie

    18. Actually I've tried glass high dome (CIG) eyes but they were bulging out of the eye sockets too much. :( It really depends on the company and the pair. I think some regular dome eyes might work also as long as they aren't super..."pointy." :XD: I've also tried low dome urethanes and they fit/looked great. Acrylics are and hit and miss like glass but it's also dependent upon preference. I'm picky about the eye sticking out of the socket (even a little bit) so I go for low domes. :XD:
       
    19. Katie is darling with that nose ornament, Kerantli. :)

      I know what you mean about pointy eyes Guls! I have them for one of my dolls but I have to take pictures carefully.
